Abstract
STiR Education is an international NGO that supports education systems to reignite intrinsic motivation so that every child, teacher and official is motivated to learn and improve. We're working towards a world where teachers love teaching and children love learning. STIR Education has been operating in Uganda since 2014 and being a learning organization, it has run different program models and iterations, meant to achieve its purpose of 'A World where teachers love teaching, and learners love learning
STIR Education Uganda runs a system strengthening program in 78 local governments across the country. Whereas the programme is specifically ongoing in all ASSHU secondary schools in 46 districts, it is ongoing in both primary and secondary schools in 32 districts. In these regions, our work is hinged on 3 pillars, namely, peer networks, reflection and action and feedback
The program focuses is on reigniting the intrinsic motivation of the education workforce by strengthening the capability of ministry officials to manage education systems and ensure that these improvements are mirrored at all levels to transform the lives of children. We develop systems learning partnerships with governments at national, sub-national and district levels. Our contribution to these partner education systems is to transform them through fostering intrinsic motivation, so that all efforts to improve student level outcomes can thrive.
Our role has three key elements:
a) Initiate partnerships: In designing programmes that respond to specific contexts, we initiate
partnerships with governments with clear milestones of progress (referred to progress pathways) agreed over a specified period of time, so that there is a strong sense of government ownership of the programmes from the beginning. To build on our experience and amplify our approaches, we are open to having more bespoke and limited partnerships around our core offer with other government and non-government partners.
b) Innovate approaches: Being responsive and flexible is one of our core strengths as a learning
organisation that seeks to leverage external evidence. We will constantly enrich our understanding and be innovative so that we can be more impactful. We will test the efficacy of the approaches to ensure that they can be sustained at scale, and that core principles of these approaches are replicable and adaptable across different contexts.
c) Influence change: We have a distinctive offer that meets an unmet need in the sector, that of intrinsic motivation of officials and teachers. This is a key contribution to help the education sector accelerate progress especially in low- and middle-income countries. We will therefore seek to influence change based on our evidence and experience, working alongside others.
