Resources in Teacher Training Colleges and the provision of quality education: A study of a Teacher Training College in the Eastern Province, Rwanda.
Abstract
Teacher Training Colleges (TTCs) are mandated to develop quality teachers in line with the country’s competencebased curriculum (CBC). The TTC currently shows a lack of adequate resources to fully implement the CBC. The lack of adequate and appropriate resources compromises the development of quality teachers as expected by the Rwandan education system. This paper examines the importance of resources available for the development of a quality teacher in Rwanda. The study was qualitative and employed a case study design. Out of five TTCs in the Eastern province, one was purposively selected for semi-structured interviews with seven tutors. Observation was also employed. Generated data were analysed thematically informed by Heneveld and Craig’s 1996 school effectiveness model. In several ways, resources were identified as failing to meet the requirements specified in the Rwandan curriculum framework. The study recommends that the Rwandan government has to provide adequate and relevant resources for the development of a teacher.
