No student should be denied a chance to sit for exams for fear of recording poor school performance in national exams.
The State Minister for Primary and Secondary Education, Dr. Mathias Harebamungu warned such schools will be penalized.
He was officiating the commencement of this year’s Primary Leaving Examinations at Centre Scholaire De Nyange B in Ngororero District, Western Province.
The warning followed reports that some teachers bar students from sitting for exams for fear of recording failures.
Addressing the candidates from three primary schools, Harebamungu said he had visited the centre to wish the candidates good luck.
He urged the parents, teachers and students to work together to ensure that quality education is available to all Rwandans.
The Head teacher of SC Nyange B, Sister Adélaide Nyirambabazi, said that teachers have done their best to prepare their pupils for the exams.
