Problems Facing Rwanda Education System

By Scott Meyer


Education is one of the critical elements in the society. The society could not be in a position to get various professionals if knowledge was not available. Though, in some African countries like Rwanda; this vital sector is facing some challenges. Below, there are multiple problems which are facing the Rwanda Education System.

One of the main challenges facing this curriculum is low completion rate at the primary level. It is because there is a high rate of repeater and dropout. Therefore, those following results in low transition rate to the secondary level. This is a significant challenging because that will affect their economy. Seemingly any nation desires to have its citizen educated. This is because it is only through education that they can be able eradicating poverty.

The professional development in Rwanda is poor. There are no changes taking place in instruction sector. For instance, the teacher is not given new training to accommodate changes. It explains why they are using the same old approach to teach children in a new generation. They are supposed to be given refresher training to help the kids. They should avoid as much as possible to prevent these outdated ways of offering instruction.

The funds directed to the instructive sector are also limited. They can sustain all the needs of the children. So many aspects of the system rely on the money coming from the government, and the government is channeling very minimal funds to the teaching curriculum. When the money is not enough, the government needs to come with ways getting more money to be used in the curriculum.

Additionally, the country is facing a problem qualified staff in a tutoring sector. There are very few teachers who are trained especially in the science and technology sector. As we all know, science is a critical subject in any nation. This is because it helps the government to get intellectuals who can facilitate innovations. Innovations cannot be possible if there is no science and technology.

In the East African community, most countries use English as means of communication. The language is also used to conduct trade. For the nation to fit efficiently in this economic block, the country had to switch from French to English. Nevertheless, changing from French to English has not been easy. The process is facing so many challenges although they are coming with practical methods to overcome the shortcomings.

As if that is not enough, the curriculum is not considering children with disabilities. They are lacking enough facilities to train children who are having these challenges. Children with disabilities are also important just like any other kid, and that is why they need to be taken with a lot of seriousness. They can as well contribute immensely to the economic growth.

Finally, it is always good for a country to conduct regular measurement on the schooling. The size is useful for the government so that they can identify areas that need some improvement. In Rwanda, they do not have a reliable system for measuring learning performance in schools. Thus it is difficult for the government to identify if the curriculum is helping their economy.
