Teacher attendance in Kamwenge District schools has improved due to the Teacher Effectiveness and Learner Achievement System (TELA) introduced by the Ministry of Education and Sports. The digital platform monitors teacher presence, improves time management, and links pay to recorded hours.
Impact of TELA in Kamwenge District
On-Time Teaching: Blazio Turamye, deputy head teacher at Kamwenge College School, stated that teachers now follow the school timetable and arrive in class promptly.
Better Supervision: Yafesi Karuhogo Ntungwa, head teacher at Kyabenda Secondary School, noted that the digital tool makes it easier to track attendance and stop absenteeism.
Pay Linked to Work: Leaders report that public school teacher salaries will match the actual teaching hours logged in the system.
