New focus on education-led development

    NAIROBI

    Rwanda’s educational priority has been identified as social development through increased access to “education with a sense of equity, improved quality in subjects and training for effective human resource development,” according to a ministry of education report quoted on Tuesday by Rwanda News Agency (RNA). Twelve teacher training colleges would be opened and 14,000 primary teachers upgraded through in-service training in order to improve the quality of teacher training, the report stated. The ministry had also set a target of improving secondary school admission from the current 16 percent to 40 percent by 2005, with an intermediate target of 30 percent for the 2000-2001 intake, it added.
