  • RDB and African Management Institute partner to provide free business skills to 2,500 MSMEs in Rwanda #rwanda #RwOT

     

    The partnership will provide 2,500 Micro Small Medium Enterprises and entrepreneurs access to free, virtual business skills programmes in response to COVID-19. Kigali, Rwanda — 16 November, 2020 — The Rwanda Development Board (RDB) and the African Management Institute (AMI) have signed a cooperation agreement to support AMI in providing 2,500 MSMEs with free business recovery and growth tools to help them bounce back from the impact of COVID-19.

     The new partnership will contribute to Rwanda's economic recovery strategy of investing in micro, small and medium sized enterprises. Businesses from across the country are invited to apply for the virtual business development programmes, which will be delivered in Kinyarwanda and English.

    AMI will offer both its popular one-month Business Survival Bootcamp programme and a longer six-month Survive to Thrive programme.

    This opportunity has been made possible thanks to financial support from Mastercard Foundation's Covid-19 Response and Resilience Programme.

    Commenting on the partnership, Clare Akamanzi, Chief Executive Officer at RDB, said: 'Rwandan businesses of all sizes have been impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. We have seen many innovative responses that have led us to become more self-reliant and put an added focus on practical skills and tools to help businesses get back on their feet, adapt and prepare for growth in the future. Most importantly, businesses don't need to wait to start making changes. The skills and tools business owners gain can be applied immediately through AMI's virtual expert-driven learning experience, online platform and Android mobile app. We encourage businesses across Rwanda to take advantage of this free programme.'

    Through the agreement with the Rwanda Development Board and with support from the Mastercard Foundation, AMI's virtual Business Survival Bootcamp and Survive to Thrive programmes will be offered on an ongoing basis from November 2020 to April 2022.

    Diederik Wokke, Rwanda Country Manager for AMI, said: 'Since 2014, AMI's programmes across Africa have created an average of 3.1 jobs per SME and boosted revenue by an average of 19%. With proven results, AMI is well placed to work with Rwandan businesses during this critical time of economic recovery. We're excited to work with business owners and entrepreneurs to help their businesses thrive, and we encourage them to take advantage of this opportunity by applying today.'

     AMI's Business Survival Bootcamp is a one-month course designed to help businesses make it through the current crisis with access to interactive online workshops, digital tools and guidance, and the opportunity to connect with other businesses. The more in-depth Survive to Thrive programme is a six-month course which enables businesses to innovate, prepare for the future and grow again.

     The programmes aim to increase the number of businesses that recover strongly from the current crisis, while retaining staff and creating additional jobs, especially for women and young people. The first Business Survival Bootcamp will begin on 24 November and the first Survive to Thrive courses kick-off at the start of 2021. All programmes will be fully virtual to fit around the schedules of busy business owners and ensure the health and well-being of participants.

    'The African Management Institute really helped by connecting us with other entrepreneurs. AMI understood the difficulties we face and shared ideas on how we can survive. We really appreciate the programme,' said Elia Mugume, CEO at TASS Gateway and Travels and past Business Survival Bootcamp participant.

    Applications are now open for both the Survival Bootcamp and the Survive to Thrive programmes, and AMI encourages applications and enquiries from Rwandan business owners in all sectors.

    Businesses and entrepreneurs can apply for the programmes at www.africanmanagers.org/rwanda  or by sending their email to +250 787 339 435 via SMS or WhatsApp.

  • Teachers To Receive 10% Salary Increment Beginning This November #rwanda #RwOT

    All primary and secondary schools teachers will receive a 10% salary increment beginning end of November,  the Ministry of Education has confirmed.

    The confirmation was made on Monday November 16, by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Samuel Mulindwa during a press conference where the ministry was giving an update on the reopening of schools and placement of teachers post covid-19 lock-down.

    A cabinet meeting chaired by President Paul Kagame in March 2019 approved a resolution increasing teachers' salaries by 10%.

    The increment would cost government over Rwf13 billion and had to be included in the 2020/2021 financial year that began on July 1, 2020.

    Since July 1, 2020, the commitment had not been met.

    However, when the salaries of November hit their accounts, all arrears will also be included, according to PS Mulindwa.

    The increment is part of the ongoing 'pay and retention' policy for public servants to reduce salary disparity.

    While increments have been implemented in other sectors, the education sector had yet to experience such a massive overhaul.

    The policy, dubbed 'Rwanda Public Sector Pay and Retention Policy and Implementation Strategy',  seeks to address gaps in compensation and retention of public employees.

    It also seeks to help government retain competent and well-motivated civil and public servants required to achieve its objectives.

    For education in particular, the pay rise is also meant to motivate and facilitate teachers as a response to a derailing quality of education in the country.

    However, teachers' salaries have been a daunting burden for government due to it's limited budgetary size that is slim and thus not enough to spare a reasonable slice on the national cake for the thousands of teachers employed.

    According to statistics from the ministry of education, by 2017, there were about 94,000 staff in the sector.

    Total number of learners registered in the Rwandan education system in 2017 was 3,637,856 with 93,970 staff and 13,153 schools.

    Teachers alone for both primary and secondary school accounted for over 65% of the total number of staff.

    Meanwhile, the number of staff has been decreasing, for example from 28,785 in 2016 to 28,389 in 2017 in secondary schools alone.

    The proportion of male staff is almost double (69.7% in 2016 and 69.5% in 2017) than female staff (30.3% in 2016 and 30.3% in 2017) in secondary schools, thus increasing students per teacher ratio (36:1), which affects the quality of education.

    Currently, a new recruited certificate holder teacher (A2 primary school teacher) earns Rwf44,000 per month (About $50).

    A diploma holder (A1) Rwf90,000 (About $100), while a graduate (A0) earns Rwf120,000 (about $135).

    The whole public sector employs approximately 104,000 people. Teachers alone cover over 50%.

    Total government expenditure on wages and salaries is expected to rise to about Rwf508 billion in 2019/2020 from about Rwf487 billion in 2018/2019.

    The education sector is likely to swallow about Rwf316 billion in 2019/2020 from Rwf298 billion in 2018/2019.

    Meanwhile the cabinet made more and major approvals.

    The education sector will begin administering Mandatory Standardized English Language Tests (SELT) for students and teaching staff at all levels of education excluding pre-primary and lower-primary.

    A policy to improve Teacher Management (recruitment, retention, development and monitoring) was also endorsed, same as a Special Needs and Inclusive Education Policy and a Teaching Career Path Advancement.
