I hope Kagame’s Minister of Education appreciates the harm he did to:
( a) the students who were in the room to take their State exam
(b) the teacher who was at the Examination Center to supervise his fellow teachers
(c) the teacher’s family
(d) the nation for confirming institutionalized violence /reugn of terror
Clearly, Kagame’s Minister of education has serious anger control /management issues and lacks basic managerial skills.
Assume, arguendo, the teacher committed an offense and Kagame’s Minister of education was trying to correct the teacher:
( i) Why would a Minister of Education threaten physical violence to a teacher; a public servant on duty?
( ii) Who would Kagame’s Minister of Education ” correct” a teacher – probably a family man – that way, in public?
Does the Minister know the basics of human resources management?
The Minister’s actions i.e. having to supervise sitting arrangements for students doing their State exam, is evidence that the Ministry of Education he heads does not function as an institution
Unfortunately, that’s how Kagame junta operates; it’s a reign of terror.
