REB Submits List of over 16,800 Teachers to Districts Required to Explain Failure to Attend English Proficiency Training

RE: Accountability measures for non-compliance with mandatory English proficiency training

The Rwanda Basic Education Board (REB), in partnership with Education First (EF), launched the first nationwide cohort of the English Proficiency Training Programme for in-service teachers. The programme is mandatory and aims to ensure that all teachers attain the minimum required English proficiency level of B2, which is essential for effective teaching and learning. Regular monitoring reports shared with REB indicate that a number of teachers are not complying with the programme requirements.

For accountability purposes, you are requested to take the following actions:

Write formally to all teachers in your District classified as off-track, inactive, or not enrolled, requesting them to provide written explanations for their failure to engage regularly in the English Proficiency Training Programme.
Apply appropriate administrative or punitive measures, in accordance with the statutes and regulations governing employees of basic education, in cases of unjustified non-compliance.
Submit to REB a consolidated report indicating, for each concerned teacher, the current engagement status, the explanation provided, actions taken by District authorities, and a clear follow-up plan.

The list of concerned teachers, disaggregated by District, Sector, and School, is attached to this letter for your reference. You are requested to submit the above-mentioned report to REB not later than two weeks after receipt of this letter. Your timely action and cooperation are essential to ensuring the success of this national programme.
