According to the planning department in the Ministry of Education, the progress made in the sector of Education in Rwanda in 2012 is satisfactory.
This was revealed during a meeting between the Ministry of Education and its partners who noted that this year 2012 goals were achieved at 92%.
MINEDUC managed to construct nearly 2,700 classrooms and 5,500 latrines and recruitment of 2,348 new teachers.
There was 12% increase in the number of secondary students in public and government-aided schools.
1 million textbooks and supplementary learning materials were distributed at secondary level and nearly 3 million textbooks were procured at primary level.
382 School-Based Mentors have been recruited from across the region to support teachers in schools and a plan is now in place to roll out the scheme more comprehensively across all schools in Rwanda.
Last month, Rwanda was awarded the Commonwealth Good Practice Award 2012 for his innovative fast-tracking strategies as part of the 9 Years Basic Education program.
In the area of Technical, Vocational Education and Training, the launch of the Rwanda TVET Qualification Framework will go a long way in providing direction towards the realization of the much needed mid-level technical skills for our growing economy.
