**Training of Trainers in the Perse Project in Tshikapa: A Key Step Towards Improving the Education System**
The city of Tshikapa, capital of the Kasai province, recently hosted a crucial training session to improve the local education system. Initiated by the Equity and Strengthening of the Education System (PERSE) project, this training of trainers took place over a three-day period and focused on key aspects such as teacher recruitment and promotion of public primary school principals, with an emphasis on merit as a selection criterion.
Adolphe Kalala Tshilobo, an expert in the Perse Kasai project, highlighted the importance of this approach, which focused on two major areas: awareness-raising and training. This initiative is part of the seven reforms carried out by the Perse project, aimed in particular at guaranteeing free primary education and promoting meritocratic practices in the recruitment of teachers.
The participants in this training were selected according to their profile and expertise, in order to guarantee effective involvement in the implementation of the educational reforms recommended by the Perse project. The practical work also highlighted the importance of mastering IT tools, essential for monitoring and implementing new practices in the field of education.
Beyond the city of Tshikapa, the Perse project plans to deploy trained people in the provincial sub-divisions of the Kasaï1 educational province, in order to generalize good practices and ensure a harmonious implementation of educational reforms throughout the region.
This stage of training trainers is therefore a significant step forward in the dynamics of reform of the education system in Kasai, offering promising prospects for the future of education in the region. Thanks to an approach based on merit and adapted expertise, the Perse project demonstrates its commitment to quality education, accessible to all and providing opportunities for Kasai youth.
In conclusion, this training of trainers in Tshikapa marks the beginning of a profound transformation of the local education system, driven by committed actors eager to build a better future for future generations. The implementation of meritocratic practices and the involvement of stakeholders in the reform process demonstrate a collective desire to make education an essential lever for human and social development in Kasai.
Ultimately, the Perse project embodies hope for education in Kasai, by laying the foundations for a renovated, equitable education system conducive to the development of each learner.
