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.

Also, there is limited funding by the government to the learning sector. Although the government has made some efforts in the recent past, the fund is still not enough. The fund given can only facilitate limited schooling activities. Therefore, if more funds are channeled to the schooling curriculum, it can be useful in helping the children in that country.

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.

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.

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.

Finally, lack of enough facilities to measure the instructive progress is another challenge. Every person would like to know how they work progressing. Having a system that checks into how the work is improving is a great thing. It should also happen in the schooling sector to determine how the whole system is helping the economy. The measurement system is lacking in the Rwanda that is a great shortcoming.
