Poor Performing Schools Will Not Close–REB

Poor performing schools will not be shut down-the Rwanda Education Board has said.

FARG Fund recently cut ties with some schools citing poor performance. Students being funded by FARG were thus removed from the said schools.

Janvier Gasana, the Deputy Director General in charge of Education Quality and Standard Department in REB confirmed that the affected schools will continue to deliver courses adding that those schools have been warned to improve quality of Education.

REB will examine performance of schools to comply with what they have been asked to fulfill.

FARG said the decision to terminate partnership with schools followed numerous complaints from students about the quality of education, feeding, and lack of scholastic materials among other facilities despite the fact that FARG has paid all the school dues.

REB said FARG has right to relocate students in an institution that it wants as soon as it pays school fees for them.

The affected schools are APERWA in Gasabo district which lost 416 students, Muhazi College from Rwamagana, 79 students and, ESECOM Musange in Nyamagabe district which lost 47 students.
