Centre de formation Les Volcans welcomes its pupils every day in Funa (Kinshasa). 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 30 January 2026, the Integrity Club reported the following problem at Centre de formation Les Volcans: lessons given by unqualified teachers.
The quality of teaching depends first on qualified teachers being in front of the pupils.
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 16 April 2026, 76 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.
Your school can change too
Students, parents and teachers trained by CERC monitor their school and talk with those in charge until problems are fixed.
