Innovation for Education, the Mentoring Community of Practice (MCOP)

The rapid expansion of basic education in Rwanda has strained the delivery of quality education while increasing the demand for effective teachers. The shift to instruction in English has also resulted in an urgent need to improve the English-language proficiency of teachers. The Government of Rwanda is addressing these needs by providing English and pedagogical support to basic education teachers through a school-based mentoring initiative, called the Innovation for Education, the Mentoring Community of Practice (MCOP) project.
