Trials Facing Rwanda Education System

By Scott Meyer


Countries in Africa have some common problems in various sectors. For instance, in the instructive industry, the challenges are almost the same. Learning plays a critical role in a country. Thus it needs to be taken with a lot of seriousness. The Rwanda Education System is facing some challenges. The problems are hindering it to achieve its goals as a country. The following are some this challenges.

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 teaching profession in a country is also wanting. The teachers are not getting any changes to their knowledge. Due to that, the children are not benefiting in any way because the teachers are using ancient methods to teach the kids. Apparently, the teachers are supposed to take refresher courses to update their knowledge in the instructive sector.

For proper education to take place, there must be enough money. Funding is very crucial in the instructive sector. Over the recent past, the government has poorly funded the industry. It would be difficult for them to realize development if funding is not appropriate. Lack of sufficient funds is another challenge facing this schooling sector. Money controls everything the economic sector.

Other than teachers sticking to the same old teaching approach, the nation still lacks qualified teachers. The number of students per teacher is high making it difficult for the teacher to manage the class. Thus, the wise thing to do is to ensure that more teachers are recruited. That will significantly help to overcome this problem. That is a step that will substantially improve the children in that nation.

Over the past year, the nation has been using French as a media of instruction. However, circumstances have forced the nation to adopt English. It is because English is the most common language in the East African economic block. Use of English can foster the relationship between this country and other East African countries. However, there is a challenge of transition from French to English.

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.
