Challenges 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.

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 lacks enough personnel to work in this particular sector. Science and technology are critical to enhancing innovation. However, science teachers are not enough. Coming up with changes becomes a little more difficult. Due to this challenge, it is the responsibility of the government to ensure that teachers are recruited.

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.

Just like any other place in the world, there are children with disability in a country. Such children need to be given extra care since there conditions are demanding. Nevertheless, there are inadequate provisions of particular need teaching in this country. The facilities offered these kids are not enough. Also; the training is still not adequate. The nation should not underestimate the potential of the children with disabilities.

In conclusion, the country lacks adequate facilities to measure the progress of the schooling. Regulating the development of knowledge is vital because the government will know areas that need improvements. They also identify places that are moving on efficiently. Thus it is a wise thing for the government to ensure that they are adopting effective methods to scrutinize the progress in tutoring.
