Pontien- Director of Studies at Kagugu

I am Ugirumurera Pontien. I was born in 1978 in the northern province of Gakenke. I was born in a big family, but the genocide of 1994 killed all the members of my family. That is why I am an orphan. I am single.

I studied seven years in primary school and six years in secondary. I continued my studies at the University of Agriculture Technology and Education of Kibungo where I studied Economics.

I began teaching in 2003 at the Kagugu Primary School. In 2004, I taught grade P5 (P stands for primary). I was soon promoted to head teacher, and in 2007 I was named Director of Studies at Kagugu Primary.
