Currently 206 classrooms are under construction across the country and some of them reached the final stage in different districts such as Kayonza, Gatsibo in Eastern Province. Classrooms are about to be finished in Gasabo and Kamonyi Districts.
Habanabashaka J Baptist, Director at Groupe Scolaire Kagugu in Gasabo District, told the Press that the joint initiative by RDF and citizens to construct classrooms was very timely. He said that GS Kagugu has 80 students per class and used morning and afternoon shifts to deal with the high number of students.
Currently 12 modern classrooms are under construction at the School.
“This will reduce overcrowded classrooms and impact on quality of our education. RDF is doing us good because the development commences with these young students,” he said.
At Groupe Scolaire Mbati in Kamonyi District, classrooms accommodate from 60 to 70 students. To address this, 7 classrooms are currently under construction and this will reduce the classroom congestion down to 50 students.
The standard and target classroom occupation is 45 students per class in the near future according to School Authorities.
