The announcement released on Wednesday states that MINEDUC in collaboration with different Rwandan embassies around the world would like to establish and maintain an updated database of Rwandan students mainly those living abroad in order to continuously support and enhance education for all Rwandan students.
In order to ensure a successful education and to mitigate challenges that students may face such as high repetition rates, use of drugs and excessive use of alcohol, expulsion from universities and deportation, students are required to provide their contact details by registering themselves at Rwandan embassies.
“Prior to their departure, students should provide a medical certificate from a recognised hospital providing that students are drug-free,” the announcement reads in part.
Students were also required to attend a one-day induction programme to learn more about potential issues that may face them.
“This announcement concerns all Rwandan students studying or who intend to study abroad on Government sponsorship, Co-operation scholarship and private sponsorship,” MINEDUC notes.
While speaking at the National Dialogue Council (Umushyikirano) recently, President Paul Kagame called on all institutions to stand against drugs among the youth saying that it has become a worrisome matter worldwide.
