Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Over 22,000 classrooms for nursery, primary and secondary schools have been built to address congestion in schools.<\/p>\n

Claude Uwihoreye, a communication specialist at the Ministry of Education (MINEDUC), told The New Times that 22,505 classrooms were constructed countrywide depending on the needs of each district.<\/p>\n

Out of the 22,505 classrooms, 17,414 are for primary schools, 3,591 for secondary and the remaining 1,500 classrooms for nursery schools.<\/p>\n

The initiative was launched by MINEDUC in 2020. Uwihoreye indicated that construction was completed last year but there are classrooms in some districts that are not yet finished.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cThe process was completed last fiscal year. However, we still have 152 classrooms in Nyarugenge and Gasabo Districts to finalise (missing glasses) due to re-tendering of windows and doors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parents and students expressed their joy and gratitude following this initiative.<\/p>\n

Alexis Rurangwa, a parent in a public school said, \u201cAs parents, we are very glad that the government has done this because our children should study in a comfortable environment with no congestion, and we believe that it will greatly help.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ange Noella Karabo, a student at Groupe Scolaire Kimironko II, said that the block constructed at their school not only solved the problem of congestion but also depicts a good image of the school in the community.<\/p>\n

She said, \u201cThe buildings make me proud to study at this school because they project our school as a developed school in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

She proceeded, \u201cWe only saw buildings like these in private schools; we used to label them as \u2018the developed schools.\u2019 And we thought they were only for such schools which made us think that our school was not developed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Karabo added that the initiative has improved her studying experience for her and her classmates, and that she is grateful for it.<\/p>\n
