In the educational province of Sud-Kivu 1, the 2022-2023 school year was marked by many advances in the implementation of activities. According to Simon Zono, Director of this entity, the operational action plan was evaluated at 73%, which shows good progress. However, he also points out that challenges persist in terms of the quality of education and access to education.
Thanks to the support of the Social Fund of the DRC (FSRDC), UNICEF and other partners such as World Vision and FHI, many activities have been carried out in the area of access to education. However, it is important to emphasize that improving the quality of education remains a major challenge for this region.
With this in mind, Simon Zono insists on the importance of putting good governance at the heart of actions for the next school year. Effective governance will have a positive impact on the quality of education and students’ access to quality education.
The ongoing symposium, focused on improving the quality of education through governance and accountability, offers a unique opportunity to exchange best practices and find solutions to address current challenges. Collaboration with partners and international organizations will be essential to achieve these goals.
In conclusion, despite the progress made in the educational province of Sud-Kivu 1, it is necessary to continue working to improve the quality of education and access to education. Good governance and collaboration with partners will be keys to meeting these challenges and providing students in this region with optimal educational opportunities
