Problems 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.

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.

Another common challenge is the country changing from French to English. They are doing this for them to conduct trade with other East African nations without any problems. Although the process is not smooth, it is of great importance to them. They are trying to recruit more teachers of English to ensure that everything is moving smoothly.

Children with disabilities need to be given extra care because their situation is different. Several measures need to be put in place to ensure that the kids are enjoying their learning just like other children. However, in this nation, there are not enough facilities to take care of the children with disabilities. Their teaching becomes difficult because of the challenges coming their way.

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.
