- Summary:
-
This report provides information on the education system of Rwanda, and is designed to assist college admissions officers and registrars in the United States with the admission and placement of students from that country. The report contains general information on the geography, people, and history of Rwanda, as well as more specific information on the country's preschool, primary, and secondary education system. Although the recent civil war has left the educational system in chaos with many schools closed, theoretically, primary education in Rwanda lasts 6 years, at the end of which students must pass national competitive examination to advance to the secondary level. Secondary education lasts 6 years and has a strong vocational orientation. Higher education, based on the Belgian model, offers a 2-year baccalaureate degree, which can be followed by a further 2 years of study for the License. Also offered are 2- to 4-year technical degrees and the Doctor of Medicine, which requires 6- to 7-years of study. Brief profiles of Rwanda's six higher education institutions are included, as well as descriptions of technical, vocational, and non-formal education. A Rwanda grading scale, with equivalent American letter grades, is provided. Two appendixes provide information on educational credentials and sample credentials and diplomas. A map of Rwanda is included. (MDM)
