Visit to Kiboga ECCD/ Burera
What did we learn
 Parents have played a
great role in the running
of the ECCD because
they regularly attend
parents meetings which
are held to sensitize them
about benefits of early
education.
Lesson learnt con’ t
 There is a strong
partnership between
the school and local
authorities who
sensitize parents in the
community of the
benefits of sending
their children to the
school early in life
Lesson learnt
 Parents are also provided with updates on the school
operations including the IGA that was set up by the
parents and the school to support the education of
the children. From the profits of the IGA, the
teachers, care givers and helpers are able to receive a
salary on monthly basis.
 The parents closely monitor the school project.
Challenges
 Less involvement of some WG members persist
 District publications of what the organization are
doing when it is not planned.
 Some parents don’t have the same understanding
on their roles and responsibilities to support
children’ education.
Recommendations
 Follow up around inactive working group members(
