- About the role
Both Ministry of Education National School Health Policy and Strategic Plan (2014) and the Ministry of Health Family Planning and Adolescents Sexual and Reproductive Health Strategic Plan (2018-2024) provides strategic guidance supporting Comprehensive Sexual Education(CSE). CSE is integrated into five subjects of the Competence-based curriculum: 2 in Primary schools (SET and Social Studies) and 3 in Secondary Schools, namely, Biology and Health Sciences, General Studies, and Communication Skills, including History and Citizenship. As part of the teacher training plan, a number of orientation sessions in CSE targeting curriculum designers and pre- and in-service teachers have to be undertaken.
To achieve this, UNESCO regional office hosted a regional training on sexuality education with the aim of improving the content and delivery across the countries in the region. The regional training built on previous efforts to support CSE scale up across the region. Since 2013, UNESCO in partnership with UNFPA have developed various resources to support delivery of sexuality education including an online training programme on sexuality education as well as an offline training for teachers on CSE. The online and offline sexuality education courses have since been updated to ensure that content is in line with the latest evidence and merging issues. UNESCO has also supported the development of Scripted Lesson Plans which have been incorporated into the in-person teacher training.
Based on the progress, UNESCO in collaboration with Rwanda basic Education Board (REB) has contracted Education Development Consult to train all tutors from Teacher Training Colleges (TTCs) starting from May 2023. REB will provide overall leadership and facilitation through CSE master trainers to deliver the training to the selected trainers, while UNESCO in close collaboration with Education Development Consult will provide Teacher Reference Materials, training module, training quality assurance, and coordination support Nationwide.
