Africa-Press<\/a> – Rwanda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>A total of 1,008 teachers across Rwanda have been awarded motorcycles and laptops for their outstanding contribution to education. This was part of national celebrations to mark the World Teachers\u2019 Day, which falls on October 5.<\/p>\n

They also received certificates of appreciation. The awards were at different levels \u2013 national, provincial, district and sector. Five teachers were recognised at the national level, 21 at the provincial level, with each receiving a motorcycle and a laptop.<\/p>\n

One-fifty, who were awarded at the district level, and another 832 at the sector level received a laptop. Speaking during the main awards ceremony in Kigali on Tuesday, Paul Umukunzi, Director General, Rwanda TVET Board, commended teachers for their service and hard work.<\/p>\n

He particularly acknowledged their role during the Covid pandemic. \u201cThis is to simply say \u2018thank you\u2019 to all of you for all your efforts in teaching the young generations of this country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Umukunzi said those recognised were selected on the basis of their outstanding contribution toward promoting use of technology, especially during the pandemic, curbing sexual violence against children, and fostering team work, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope these awards will help them in their teaching vocation, we hope laptops will help improve their technology skills and ease their work,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Jean-Jacques Nsanzamahoro, a TVET teacher from Nyanza, was awarded for innovatively engaging his students to recycle construction materials and use them to fix school premises. He said such awards motivate teachers to even do more and better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
