Africa-Press<\/a> – Rwanda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Rwanda is considering hiring teachers from Zimbabwe as the government seeks to fix longstanding skills gaps, language barriers following multiple reforms of its education sector.<\/p>\n

While it is not yet clear how many teachers the country would source and timelines, President Paul Kagame told a joint trade and investment conference held in Kigali last week that his country needs quality teachers urgently as the two countries explore mutual beneficial business opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Zimbabwe can offer us good teachers. So please work on that with a sense of urgency. Whatever number you find of quality teachers I think we can absorb because we need them. We need them urgently,\u201d President Kagame said while addressing members of the two countries private sector groups and government delegates.<\/p>\n

Recently, Rwanda froze all public service recruitments except for teachers as the Education Ministry works fill over 13,000 vacant teaching positions.<\/p>\n

Schools in Rwanda reopen on October 11 amid pressure to recoup learning losses registered under the just-concluded year characterised by pandemic induced closures.<\/p>\n

While the current shortage of teachers is partly blamed on the pandemic, which saw the sector lose a section of experienced teachers who quit the profession, the massive school infrastructure expansion since 2020 under the joint government project with World Bank necessitated over 25,000 additional teachers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
