Fatshimetrie: Prime Minister in consultation with the association of professors at the University of Kinshasa
In a critical period for the Democratic Republic of Congo, marked by conflicts and economic challenges, the appointment of Judith Suminwa Tuluka as Prime Minister has brought both hope and questions. Before outlining her government’s official program to the National Assembly, the new Prime Minister embarked on consultations with various stakeholders to gain a comprehensive understanding of the forthcoming challenges.
Among the key focus areas for Judith Suminwa is higher education, crucial for the country’s development and the nurturing of future leaders. In this regard, she engaged with the association of professors from the University of Kinshasa, led by Professor David Lubo Yambele. The discussion addressed vital issues such as healthcare for educators, research support, better working conditions, and salary enhancements.
Professor David Lubo Yambele emphasized the importance of sustaining health insurance for teachers, accessing promised research funds, and addressing the salary scale to ensure fair compensation and academic excellence. The proposed scale grid by APUKIN aims to equip the Prime Minister with concrete tools to enhance teachers’ working conditions and uphold the quality of higher education in the DRC.
In addition to the higher education sector, the new Prime Minister faces other significant challenges, including security instability in the eastern regions, tensions with rebel factions and neighboring armies, and economic issues linked to currency devaluation. Judith Suminwa will need to exhibit strong leadership and resolve to tackle these challenges and implement reforms vital for the nation’s stability and progress.
The consultation with the association of professors at the University of Kinshasa marks the beginning of a transparent and constructive dialogue between the government and higher education stakeholders. This inclusive approach underscores Judith Suminwa’s commitment to governing collaboratively with civil society, prioritizing education and research at a national level. As she stands on the cusp of a transformative period, the new Prime Minister must showcase courage and dedication to meet the legitimate expectations of the Congolese populace and pave the way for a brighter collective future.
