The Tunoze Gusoma (“Schools and Systems”) activity improves literacy outcomes for all Rwandan children by partnering with the Government of Rwanda to strengthen education systems from national to local levels. Tunoze Gusoma builds high-quality and inclusive pre-primary and lower primary school and classroom environments focused on foundational literacy skills.
This activity improves language and literacy instruction by training teachers on evidence-based approaches to teaching reading, increasing the availability and use of high-quality teaching and learning materials, and training teachers and school leaders to build children’s social and emotional skills. The activity sustains improvements to early grade reading assessment systems achieved under past USAID activities, strengthens systems for the continuous professional development of the early grade literacy teaching workforce, strengthens resilience to shocks and disruptions to education, and improves resource management at the district level.
