NEWS FROM BROTHER JOSE’ JONES

Hello and Blessings to you all!

Please find the attached, preliminary results of the CPK (Presbyterian Community in Kinshasa) Teacher Training Survey. The CPK administers/supports over 300 schools in Western Congo (including schools in Ville Kinshasa and surrounding Western Provinces). CPK, with support from PCUSA congregations and as part of its interest in long-term planning, created a Teacher Training Planning committee. This committee designed a survey to assess: 1) evaluation of past trainings, gather interest and knowledge of current educational theories and best practices and 3) gather demographic info (contact info, teaching area, educational background, etc) on the teachers of the CPK. These survey results outline the opinions and interests of teachers of the Ville Kinshasa schools.

Herb Long, leader of the Lafayette-Orinda Presbyterian Church Congo Team, has recommended I be more purposeful in communicating the great things happening in the CPK schools to lift up students, teachers, its churches and its schools. His comments were specific to the groups of churches which support education. I find this to be an excellent idea and therefore am sending this missive.

To learn more about the different programmatic initiatives and stories about my service, please see my mission connections newsletters which can be found at: https://www.presbyterianmission.org/ministries/missionconnections/jose-lamont-jones/I am currently finalizing a connections letter on a technology training we are currently implementing at an area school that promises to be a cost-effective way to explode access to technology and informatics for both teachers and students in CPK schools (and potentially beyond). Don’t miss this upcoming installment. Sign-up to subscribe to my letters via the same link.

Lastly, as I prepare for my first interpretation assignment IN PERSON, I look forward to seeing “whole people” that go with the Zoom square images I have been interacting with for these past three years. I hope you find the attached results helpful in understanding both the needs here in CPK schools but also the strides the denomination is taking to become not only provide quality education to its students but also be leaders in Congolese education. Thanks for your support in making this possible!

Hoping to see you all soon!
