The
Teacher Training Program (TTP) Rwanda is a five-year blended (face-to-face and
online) training Program seeking to enhance the capacity of secondary school
teachers (in-service and pre-service) in the teaching of mathematics, biology,
chemistry and physics with the use of information technologies as a key
component in teaching and learning. In partnership with the Government of
Rwanda, the Rwanda education board (REB) and the University of Rwanda college
of education (UR-CE), the Program will equip teachers with skills, tools and
resources to implement the competency based curriculum (CBC) using the
Mathematics and Sciences for Sub-Saharan Africa (MS4SSA) approach adopted from
the World Bank.
