Capacity building of inspection staff
As part of the strategic plan 2013-2017 of education, a training session of the inspection division currently held at the premises of the Ministry of Education, in Mont-Fleuri. It will close on Friday 24th July.
The aim is to familiarize participants with a new approach in the framework of school inspections. This is to guarantee a level of quality education in schools.
This training was done at the request of the Ministry of Education and is funded by UNESCO. It receives technical support from Dr Malau Phetolo-Modiega Botswana, consultant quality assurance. Indeed, the priority of UNESCO is oriented towards strengthening the quality assurance capabilities in the field of education. The Ministry of Education applies specifically at the inspection center.
The opening session was held yesterday morning at the Centre for Curriculum, Assessment and Teacher Support (CCATS), the Ministry of Education. The start of the training was done in the presence of the General Secretaries Ms. Merida Delcy and Dr. Linda Barallon, Ms. Merina Andimignon head of pole inspection, inspectors, other officials of the ministry and participants from various institutions.
In his speech, Dr. Marie-Reine Hoareau, Secretary General of the National Commission of UNESCO, thanked UNESCO for its active cooperation, both financial and technical, to the training project.
"This is a major focus of UNESCO's action plan for capacity building in quality assurance level to deliver quality education. She says this is a clear commitment of UNESCO in improving the quality of education to its member states, "she said.
To do this, the expertise of Dr Malau-Modiega, quality assurance consultant and specialist in the field of education, is put to use so that she can share her knowledge and experience in the implementation of insurance quality.
Also, Ms Hoare wants to achieve the highest standards, both in terms of quality and consistency, at the general inspection. The improvement process initiated aims to set up a quality assurance in all schools.
Ms Hoare believes that inspectors will give room for change and reform and they will do their best to adapt to this new "landscape" education. This continuous improvement in the Seychelles education system can be supported by a saying of Mrs Hoare:
"To enable each student to be a committed learner, each school should be a good school," she said.
