Themes:
Distance learning, ICTs, technical capacity building, professional development
Project Goal:
To establish an ICT network at the Kigali Institute of Education (KIE) and improve connectivity with KIE Regional Distance Learning Centers. The increased technical capacities of KIE academic and administrative staff will enable better administrative and financial management, collaboration with other educational institutions, innovative instructional design in ICT and will cultivate an “ICT Culture” within the institution. Improved connectivity with Regional Distance Learning Centers will enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of distance training provision to pre-service and in-service secondary school teachers in order to provide a more qualified secondary school teaching workforce and, ultimately, better education for young people in Rwanda. Increased overall capacity will enable the Kigali Institute of Education to become a leader in high quality teacher training and information technology while facilitating community access to education and information communications technologies (ICTs).
