In this engaging episode of UPSTU’s ProDev Hour, we are honored to have the National Chairperson, Vincent Elong, share his insights on the theme “Valuing Teachers’ Voices: Towards a New Social Contract for Education.” Vincent highlights the importance of teacher involvement in shaping education policies and addresses some of the key challenges educators face, particularly in integrating ICT into teaching. He dives into the recent policy developments, such as the new lower secondary curriculum and the role of teachers in digital transformation, urging the need for continuous professional development and clear guidelines and planning to ensure success. Throughout the session, educators from across the country share their experiences and suggestions, touching on issues such as ICT devices and workload management, particularly for science teachers. Vincent also discusses the importance of union involvement in advocating for teachers’ rights, ensuring financial stability through the UPSTU SACCO, and supporting the implementation of innovative education practices. This episode offers valuable perspectives on the role of teachers in transforming education and making a difference in their schools. As we gear up for World Teachers’ Day 2024, we end with a powerful prayer for unity, respect, and recognition of the vital role teachers play in shaping our future.
