Physical punishment continues to be a huge issue in Rubavu, but it doesn't have to be this way. When teachers treat their students with respect, children look forward to school and classrooms become homes of learning. Wellspring's training is inspiring teachers to adopt positive behavioural management techniques that offer dignity to every child. LINK IN PROFILE TO LEARN MORE⠀ ⠀ #education #heartachetohope

Many schools in Wellspring's programs have signs of affirmation scattered around the gardens. These positive sayings help reinforce the values that are being taught in the classroom and encourage kids to take what they've learned out into the community!

#MonMornMot brought to you from the Primary 6 class at #Mbandazi Primary School. This school has seen remarkable progress over the last few years. As you enter each classroom the increase in quality education is tangible! Last year, all but three students passed their final national exam and six of those students were promoted to Rwanda's top public schools! #Rwanda #Africa #transformation #change #education #students #teacher

This is the same view as that last one I took, only late at night! I think I want twinkly lights everywhere.
