Abarimu Bagize Ubwoba ko Babura Akazi Nyuma yo Kumenya ko Umwarimu Umwe Yakwigisha Abanyeshuri 1000 Barenga ku Ikoranabuhanga

Mu gihe u Rwanda rukomeje kwimakaza ikoranabuhanga mu rwego rw’uburezi, by’umwihariko binyuze mu mishinga migari nka Smart Education Phase II n’iyindi y’ibigo nka Huawei na MTN ifasha mu gushyiraho smart classrooms, hari bamwe mu barimu batangiye kugaragaza impungenge z’uko iri koranabuhanga rishobora kuzaba intandaro yo gutakaza akazi.

Abo barimu bavuga ko amasomo atangirwa kuri murandasi (online learning) cyangwa hifashishijwe ibikoresho by’ikoranabuhanga nka tablets n’amashusho yigisha (video lessons), bishobora gutuma umwarimu umwe ashobora kwigisha abanyeshuri benshi icyarimwe, mu mashuri atandukanye, bityo bikagabanya umubare w’abarimu bakeneye ku isoko ry’umurimo.

Hari abarimu bavuga ko n’ubwo ikoranabuhanga rifite umumaro munini mu kongera ubushobozi no koroshya imyigishirize, bishoboka ko mu gihe kiri imbere rizagera ku rwego rwo gusimbura umwarimu mu buryo bumwe cyangwa ubundi.

Umwe mu barimu  yagize ati:

“Iyo umuntu yumvise ko umwarimu umwe ashobora kwigisha abanyeshuri ibihumbi binyuze kuri murandasi, birumvikana ko umubare w’abarimu bakeneye ushobora kugabanuka. Ibyo bituma bamwe muri twe dutekereza ko iri koranabuhanga rishobora kuzatwambura akazi.”

Abarimu bamwe bavuga kandi ko ikoranabuhanga ryashyizeho  mu rwego rw’imyigishirize, aho abamenyi bafite ubumenyi bwo hejuru n’ubushobozi bwo gukoresha neza ikoranabuhanga bashobora gufata amahirwe menshi kurusha abandi.

Minisiteri y’Uburezi (MINEDUC) yasubije izi mpungenge ishimangira ko intego nyamukuru y’igihugu atari ugusimbuza abarimu, ahubwo ari ukubafasha gukora neza, bagabanya umunaniro no kongera ireme ry’uburezi.

Mu butumwa bw’iyi Minisiteri, bagaragaje ko ikoranabuhanga ari igikoresho cyunganira umwarimu mu murimo we, atari ikimusimbura.

Umwe mu bayobozi muri Minisiteri yagize ati:
“Umwarimu ni umutima w’uburezi. Ikoranabuhanga ntiryigisha indangagaciro, ntiryigisha ubupfura, kandi ntiryagira umubano n’umunyeshuri. Uko ikoranabuhanga ryateye imbere kose, umwarimu azahora ari wo mutima n’intangiriro y’uburezi bufite ireme.”

Minisiteri yongeyeho ko gahunda za smart education zigamije kongerera abarimu ubushobozi, kubaha uburyo bwo kubona amasomo agezweho, uburyo bwo gukoresha ibikoresho by’ikoranabuhanga, no gukuraho imbogamizi zituruka ku isura ya kera y’uburezi ishingiye ku mpapuro gusa.

Hari uburyo bwinshi Minisiteri y’Uburezi isobanura ko ikoranabuhanga ari umufasha w’umwarimu, aho kuba umwanzi we.

1. Kworohereza umwarimu kubona amasomo yiteguye neza:
   Ubu hari uburyo REB (Rwanda Education Board) yashyizeho bwo guha abarimu amasomo y’amashusho, inyandiko, n’ubundi bahanaga bwo kubafasha gutegura amasomo mu buryo bwiza.

2. Kongera ubumenyi bw’abarimu:
   Binzwi nka Continuous Professional Development (CPD), iri gahunda ifasha abarimu kubona amahugurwa kuri murandasi kugira ngo bahugurwe ku buryo buhoraho, batagombye kuva aho bigisha.

3. Kunoza uburyo bwo kugenzura umusaruro w’abanyeshuri:
   Ikoranabuhanga ryashyizeho uburyo bwo kugenzura imitsindire y’abanyeshuri mu buryo bwikora (automated assessment systems), bigafasha umwarimu kubona amakuru y’ingenzi ku buryo bwihuse kandi butanga umusaruro.

4. Kugabanya umunaniro:
   Abarimu benshi bavuga ko amasomo y’amasaha menshi abatwara imbaraga nyinshi. Icyakora, ikoranabuhanga rishobora gufasha mu gutanga isomo rimwe ryifashishwa n’amashuri menshi, bityo umwarimu akabona umwanya wo kwita ku gutegura, gusubiramo, no kugenzura neza ibyo abanyeshuri biga.

N’ubwo hari abagaragaza impungenge, hari abandi barimu batandukanye bavuga ko ikoranabuhanga ari umufasha ukomeye.

“Aho ntangiye gukoresha Zoom mu kwigisha abanyeshuri bari mu biruhuko, nasanze ari uburyo bwiza bwo gukomeza uburezi mu bihe bigoye. Ibi byadufashije cyane muri COVID-19, kandi byerekanye ko ikoranabuhanga ari igisubizo aho ari ikibazo.”

Ikoranabuhanga mu burezi mu Rwanda ryatangiye kugaragara cyane nyuma ya 2007, ubwo hatangizwaga gahunda ya One Laptop per Child (OLPC) igamije gufasha abana bato kumenyera ikoranabuhanga hakiri kare.

Nyuma yaho, Leta yashyize imbaraga mu kwegereza amashuri interineti, gushyiraho Smart Classrooms, no guteza imbere ikoranabuhanga mu gutegura no gutanga amasomo.

Mu 2022, Minisiteri y’Uburezi yatangije gahunda ya Smart Education Phase I ifite intego yo kwinjiza ikoranabuhanga mu mashuri 1,500, naho muri 2025, gahunda ya Phase II ikazagera ku mashuri arenga 2,500.

Iyi gahunda ihuza ibikoresho by’ikoranabuhanga, internet, amasomo yigishwa mu buryo bw’amashusho, ndetse n’amahugurwa y’abarimu mu gukoresha neza ibyo bikoresho.

Abahanga mu burezi bavuga ko umwarimu atigisha amasomo gusa, ahubwo yigisha indangagaciro, imyitwarire, ubupfura n’ubumenyi bw’imibanire.

Minisiteri y’Uburezi ifatanyije n’ibigo by’abikorera nka Huawei, Airtel, MTN na Bank of Kigali, yashyizeho gahunda yo kwigisha abarimu gukoresha ikoranabuhanga binyuze mu mahugurwa yiswe Digital Ambassadors Program.

Muri iyi gahunda, abarimu barahugurwa ku gukoresha mudasobwa, gutegura amasomo hakoreshejwe ikoranabuhanga, gusuzuma abanyeshuri binyuze mu buryo bwa online, ndetse no gukoresha uburyo bushya bwo gusangira amasomo hagati y’amashuri.

Uretse ibyo, hari n’andi mahugurwa y’abarimu ku rwego rwa Teacher Training Colleges (TTC) aho amasomo yose ahuza ikoranabuhanga n’ubumenyi busanzwe, kugira ngo umwarimu azasohoke afite ubushobozi bwo kwigisha mu buryo bugezweho.

Nta shingiro rifatika rifasha kuvuga ko ikoranabuhanga rizasimbura umwarimu mu Rwanda cyangwa ahandi hose ku isi. Ahubwo, umwarimu utiga gukoresha ikoranabuhanga ni we ushobora gusigara inyuma, ariko si ukuvuga ko atazigera asimburwa.

Mu gihe isi igenda ihinduka ku muvuduko munini, umwarimu ni we ugomba kuba imbere mu guhinduka, agendana n’ibihe, agaharanira kwigisha neza akoresheje ibikoresho bishya bimufasha, atabitinya.

U Rwanda ruri mu nzira nziza yo guhuza ubumenyi bwa muntu n’ubw’ikoranabuhanga, kugira ngo uburezi bube umusingi w’iterambere rirambye.

Mu magambo magufi, ikoranabuhanga si umwanzi w’umwarimu, ni umuturanyi ushobora kumufasha kugera ku ntego — iyo abikoresheje neza.
