The educational provinces of Kinshasa-Plateau and Kinshasa-Tshangu are under fire from critics. The Minister of Primary, Secondary and Technical Education, Tony Muaba Kazadi, described these provinces as seats of anti-values during a meeting with Heads of Schools. This statement is intended to highlight issues and prompt managers to take corrective action.
The anti-values most frequently observed in these provinces are non-compliance with official instructions, the collection of illicit fees, the increase in fees for certification tests, the consideration of students as customers, the abusive use of operating costs and the complicity between the heads of establishments and the Inspectors.
Faced with these worrying findings, the Minister wanted to bring together the Heads of establishments to remind them of their responsibilities and give them clear instructions. According to him, Heads of establishments are on the front line and must act accordingly to remedy these anti-values.
However, the task does not look easy. The Secretary General, Christine Nepa Nepa, pointed out that some senior officials, including Provincial Directors, are also promoters of schools. This situation makes it difficult to strictly observe the instructions, because it is difficult to be both judge and judged.
Despite the challenges encountered, the Minister remains determined to fight against these anti-values and to establish a healthy educational climate in these provinces. It encourages its employees to take firm measures and demonstrate transparency in their management.
In conclusion, the educational provinces of Kinshasa-Plateau and Kinshasa-Tshangu are confronted with recurring problems of anti-values in the field of education. The Minister of Primary, Secondary and Technical Education warns against these practices and calls for corrective measures. It is up to the leaders of these provinces to take concrete measures to remedy this situation and guarantee a healthy educational environment for students.
