Lack of teaching materials: problem fixed at École primaire Bondeko thanks to citizen monitoring

École primaire Bondeko welcomes its pupils every day in Bagira (Sud-Kivu). Like other schools followed by EduCheck, it has an Integrity Club: student monitors trained by the Anti-Corruption Research Centre (CERC) to observe their school with a shared questionnaire, report problems on EduCheck and talk with those in charge until they are solved.

The problem

On 2 March 2026, the Integrity Club reported the following problem at École primaire Bondeko: lack of teaching materials.

Without textbooks or materials, pupils depend entirely on the blackboard and learn less.

The problem was published on the school’s page and sent to the school management.

The dialogue

The monitors opened a dialogue with the school management:

• Advocacy

The result

The fix was recorded on 11 April 2026, 40 days after the report.

The monitors will check the fix during their next visit; the problem will then move to « Verified ».

This success shows what citizen monitoring makes possible: a problem made visible, a dialogue with the right people and a verified solution, for the benefit of pupils.
