Donate NowStrengthening Teacher Capacity for Holistic Learning
While the teaching profession holds immense potential for shaping young minds and fostering positive change, educators in many developing countries often face significant challenges and frustrations, leading to a high turnover rate. This poses a critical issue as the quality of teaching directly impacts student learning outcomes. Research consistently highlights teachers as the most influential factor in students' academic achievement.
At JM Education and Research Centre (JMERC), we are committed to addressing this challenge by ensuring that all children in Uganda have access to quality education. We focus on partnering with schools in rural communities, where resources and support for teachers are often limited. Our approach centres on enhancing teachers' intrinsic motivation and building their capacity to implement learner-centred, inclusive, and gender-responsive teaching methodologies.
Through our programs, we empower teachers to nurture both the academic and non-academic skills of their students, creating a conducive learning environment that fosters holistic development. Our ultimate goal is to cultivate a dedicated cadre of educators who are not only motivated to teach but also equipped with the necessary skills to support students in achieving their full potential.
