In conjunction with FHI 360 and its partners, the Learning Systems Institute is working to ensure that literacy instruction of Kinyarwanda (an official language in Rwanda) in pre-primary and lower primary schools is high quality, inclusive, and effective. LSI helped to roll out a previously developed module on teaching literacy skills in the Kinyarwanda language that was delivered to instructors from Teacher Training Colleges across Rwanda. The LSI team also completed a Baseline Situation Assessment and a Rapid Situation Assessment presenting the findings to 50
national stakeholders. Finally, the LSI team worked closely with the Rwanda Education Board to establish a Teaching Practice Advisory Group. This group will review and refine the Teaching Practice Framework.
