A joyous celebration of children’s work!

In the Rwandan education system, students receive end-of-semester school reports every three months. This marks the time parents learn about their children’s academic progress. Usually, parents gather at school and anxiously wait for their children to be called up front to receive their school reports before going home

At REAP’s INEZA Academy last Friday, we created a new learning ritual by showcasing children’s skills and as well as demonstrating home-based storytelling between parents and their children. One parent volunteered to tell a story to all children as a model for promoting literacy at home

 Parents sat in classrooms watching their children recite poems,  sing Kinyarwanda songs,  demonstrate spelling, and practice counting real-life objects. 

 Through our partnership with Teach Rwanda, our end-of-semester evaluation covers six research-based early childhood learning areas: Language and Literacy, Discovery of the World, Numeracy, Creative Arts and Culture, Physical and Health Development, and Social and Emotional development.
