This leads to low motivation and no zeal for teaching hence leading to decline in the standard of education. This problem should be addressed,&#8221; Uwamamoro said.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Visit link:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201106271854.html\" title=\"Minister Unveils Education Strategy\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minister Unveils Education Strategy<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Maria Kaitesi 25 June 2011 The Minister of Education, Pierre Damien Habumuremyi, yesterday met with 30 District Education Officers (DEOs) to discuss plans to advance the quality of education.
