The Direction Nationale de Contrôle, de Préparation de la Paie et de Maîtrise des effectifs du Personnel Administratif et Enseignant (DINACOPE) in Kwango province launched a three-day training workshop on September 22, 2026, in Kenge. The workshop aims to modernize procedures, master digital tools for physical control, and clean up the teacher payroll file. The training was officially opened by Provincial Minister of National Education and New Citizenship, Josué Komba.

The training session, initiated by the provincial director of DINACOPE/Kwango 1, Falanga Gitumba Gasaw Fernand, seeks to adapt working methods to technological innovations, particularly through digital physical control and digitalization of administrative and teaching staff data. Participants are being equipped with skills on using computer tools for control, data collection, processing, and securing. This will enable the province to strengthen its control over staff numbers and have reliable information for sustainable cleanup of the teacher payroll file.

The training also focuses on the professional ethics of agents, an essential aspect of data security and the reliability of payroll operations. This initiative is part of the education sector reforms driven by President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo and implemented nationally by Minister of National Education and New Citizenship, Raïssa Malu Dinanga. The goal is to improve the education system, and the provincial government of Kwango has pledged to support these reforms.

At the opening of the workshop, Minister Josué Komba reaffirmed the provincial government's commitment to accompanying reforms aimed at improving the education system. Through this training, DINACOPE/Kwango 1 aims to modernize its physical control mechanisms, strengthen staff control, and permanently clean up and make the teacher payroll file in the Kwango 1 education province more reliable.

The three-day workshop brings together cadres, heads of antennas, and operating agents. It covers topics such as the use of computer tools in control operations, data collection, and processing. The objective is to equip participants with the necessary skills to effectively carry out their duties and contribute to the improvement of the education sector in Kwango province.

The DINACOPE/Kwango 1 initiative aligns with efforts to enhance the education sector in the Democratic Republic of Congo. By modernizing its control mechanisms and strengthening the mastery of staff numbers, the province aims to ensure accurate and reliable teacher payroll. This will help to improve the overall quality of education in Kwango province.
