Inaugural Rwanda/Winchester Joint Education ConferenceĪ successful day-long conference was held in the Shyogwe Diocese for headteachers, chaplains and school pastors facilitated by the Diocesan Education Team alongside the Shyogwe Head of Education and Bishop Jered. Ten schools are currently linked and sharing teaching methodology and resources. Schools are being approached on an individual basis in order to ensure appropriate level of communication before a link is agreed. One of the intended outcomes of the project is to produce a targeted and sustainable strategy to ensure longevity and productive embedded links. Some aspects of serving the common good in Rwandan communities, such as regular litter clearance and acts of kindness, have been adopted by many Winchester diocesan schools. This aligns with the Winchester School of Mission’s learning from companion dioceses and provinces. The Education Team’s work is philosophically and demonstrably driven by the Church of England’s Vision for Education document – ‘Deeply Christian : Serving The Common Good’. Shared learning is taking place, including the exchanging of research findings and developments in assessments and improving teachers’ questioning and assessment skills. This increasingly strong link is viewed through a mutually-beneficial lens and as a means of deepening links and learning for schools and parishes in both countries.įollowing visits to Rwanda members of the Diocesan Education Team and several school leaders, an online learning community has been established between lead teachers in both countries.Many teachers in both countries are now taking advantage of the growing online learning hub.
