Summary: | The Republic of Rwanda is a relatively
small country located in Central Africa with a population of
approximately 10 million people, making it one of the more
densely populated countries in the world. The current
government is taking positive steps to helps the country
emerge from its tragic past, and aims to promote
reconciliation and unity among all Rwandese and forbids any
political activity or discrimination based on race,
ethnicity, or relation. The government's effort to
deliver basic public services to its population, including
education, also follow the spirit of inclusiveness and aims
to diminish gender, socioeconomic and geographic
disparities. Rwanda's development agenda is entering a
new phase as it transitions from post-genocide recovery to
producing a population that is regionally and globally
competitive and economically and socially secure. The
education sector plays a significant role in fulfilling the
national agenda. This Country Status Report (CSR) takes
stock of recent progress and identifies a new generation of
challenges facing the education sector, particularly in the
context of ongoing decentralization and the
government's recent initiative to extend basic
education to nine years of schooling. |
