The new move will go in place starting from Monday 30th where students preparing to sit for 2018 national examinations will start to register for exams.
The process will be facilitated by school head teachers, Sector Education Officers and Director of Education in Districts as well as Irembo officials.
Speaking to IGIHE, the State Minister for Primary and Secondary Education in the Ministry of Education, Dr. Isaac Munyakazi said that the service comes to fast-track the registration process and ICT promotion.
“First of all is to fast-track the process by using ICT, it facilitates us in coordinating numbers which are needed during examinations. We also need to reduce using of papers as ICT helps us keeping the records properly,” he said.
He said that they will not face internet issues as the process will be facilitated by school head teachers and sector education officers who have internet and computers.
“Head teacher have been trained. No need for students to go and seek machine to register themselves, it will be done at their respective schools,” Munyakazi explained.
The Rwanda Education Board (REB) Deputy Director General, Angelique Tusiime explained that Irembo staffs at districts will facilitate head teachers.
She explained that it will reduce the workload as previously, the registration that was being done on hard copies used to reach in REB and re-register them in computers which sometimes resulted in some mistakes like misspelling of candidates’ names.
National examination registration is the 86th service taken online after different services like land title transfers, registration for driving licenses, and official document application among others.
