At Institut technique Saint-Joseph (Lukunga, Kinshasa), the Integrity Club reported on EduCheck: danger for students around the school. Within 39 days and through « Advocacy », the school fixed the problem; the monitors checked the fix on site.
Institut technique Saint-Joseph welcomes its pupils every day in Lukunga (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 17 February 2026, the Integrity Club reported the following problem at Institut technique Saint-Joseph: danger for students around the school.
Pupils’ safety, at school and on the way there, cannot wait.
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 28 March 2026, 39 days after the report.
During their visit on 11 October 2026, the monitors checked the fix on site: the problem moved to « Verified » on EduCheck.
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.
