Abstract

Purpose: This study looks at the barriers to parental involvement in education from the views of parents and teachers in five primary schools in Matimba, Nyagatare, Rwanda. It highlights the importance of strong family-school partnerships to improve student success. Research Methodology / Design / Approach: The study used a mixed method, gathering data through surveys, interviews, and group discussions with parents and teachers. Findings: Key challenges include lack of awareness about the importance of involvement, cultural differences, and poor communication between schools and families. Parents feel uneasy about the school environment and unsure how to support their children, while teachers face time and resource limits. Both groups agree on the barriers but see their impact differently. Originality / Value: This research offers important insights into parental involvement in Matimba. It stresses the need for better communication, community support, and inclusive school policies to boost parental engagement. The study calls for cooperation between parents and teachers and suggests ways to improve involvement in education.

Abstract

With the complete implementation of the Competence Based Curriculum (CBC) in 2021, Rwandan Teacher Training Colleges (TTCs) play a crucial role in preparing future educators equipped with the skills, knowledge, and values essential for an advancing educational system. This research examines the impactful role of music education in improving English skills among Rwandan TTCs. Acknowledging the worldwide importance of English as a tool for instruction and communication, this research explores how incorporating music into the curriculum can enhance language learning in an enjoyable way. Utilizing modern theories of language acquisition, the study adopts a mixed-methods approach, integrating interviews with educators and quantitative evaluations of English proficiency prior to and following the introduction of music-centered teaching methods. Data was analyzed inductively through the aggregation of shared themes until reaching a saturation point. Initial findings indicate that music serves not only as a motivational backdrop for education but also helps with the acquisition of phonetics, retention of vocabulary, and pronunciation of words. The cooperative essence of music creates a nurturing learning atmosphere, boosts student confidence and engagement. This research intends to offer practical insights for educators and policymakers looking for creative solutions in language education, emphasizing music as a potentially transformative factor in enhancing English skills among prospective Rwandan teachers. The findings of this study could reach beyond language teaching, indicating a wider relevance for music in educational environments across various subjects and cultural contexts.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to analyze the disparities in music education provision within two Teacher Training Colleges (TTCs) in Rwanda and examine their practical implications in affiliated demonstration primary schools. The study seeks to understand how music education within teacher preparation programs contributes to learners’ creativity, cultural awareness, cognitive development, and emotional intelligence, and to what extent its implementation aligns with national curriculum expectations. Research Methodology/Design/Approach – A qualitative case study approach was employed to investigate the curriculum, pedagogical practices, and instructional readiness of TTCs. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with primary school teachers, student teachers, and music tutors; classroom observations involving integrated lessons; and document analysis of lesson plans, curriculum frameworks, and resource inventories. This approach enabled a comprehensive exploration of how music education is delivered and contextualized in both TTCs and demonstration schools. Findings – The findings reveal substantial inconsistencies in the quality and frequency of music education instruction. Practical music lessons were allocated limited instructional time, and several instructors demonstrated insufficient musical competence and pedagogical confidence. Both TTCs and demonstration schools lacked adequate resources, particularly musical instruments and suitable teaching aids. In primary schools, music education was often intermittent or overlooked due to limited teacher capacity, resource shortages, and inconsistent curricular demands. Originality/Value – This study highlights a clear gap between teacher preparation and the actual delivery of music education in Rwandan primary schools. It recommends increasing practical music instruction time in TTCs, improving the availability of musical resources, and providing targeted professional development to strengthen consistent and effective pedagogical practice

Abstract

The content of English language textbooks and the national Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) in Rwandan primary schools are closely examined in this study. The study looks at selected elementary English textbooks (P2, P4, P5, and P6) and official curricular materials that have been approved or published by the Rwanda Education Board (REB). The study identifies areas of significant misalignments at the implementation level as well as areas of good design-level alignment in content and teaching intent using a critical content review method that blends content and theme analysis. Significant obstacles include the disparity between Kinyarwanda usage and English as the primary language of instruction, low teacher English proficiency, structural problems such as time constraints and overcrowded classrooms, and assessment practices that may inadvertently undermine CBC goals. Despite these obstacles, Rwanda has a clear legislative strategy that supports competence-based education, produces well-designed textbooks, and allocates funds for digital learning initiatives and teacher training. The findings point to a notable discrepancy between the successful use of high-quality educational resources in classrooms and their accessibility. To support improved English language proficiency and general educational standards in Rwanda, recommendations are made to strengthen policy alignment, improve teaching strategies, improve teacher preparation, and expedite resource allocation.
