Refusing to register children over lacking mituelle de sant\u00e9 can be considered as violation of human rights since some parents may fail to subscribe,\u201d said one resident.<\/p>\n<p>The head of Groupe Scolaire Remera, Fran\u00e7oise Furaha, said that local leaders are using school registration to mobilize for more medical insurance subscription .<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey really know that mituelle de sant\u00e9 is essential and it is their duty. We set these conditions since mituelle de sant\u00e9 helps in case a child gets sick. But we can\u2019t refuse to register them for lack of mituelle de sant\u00e9,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The executive secretary of Nyarutarama cell, Uwimbabazi Georgette said that mituelle de sant\u00e9 is everyone\u2019s obligation. \u201cIt is not an order of the school or local leaders, but a way of reminding them that their children must have medical insurance. It should not be taken for granted. Every student has rights to come to good health and to education.,\u201d <\/p>\n<p>It is expected that Groupe Scolaire Remera has capacity to accommodate 700 children. It will open on 8th February, 2016.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-10376 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/parents_registering_children_at_nyarutarama_cell.jpg\" alt=\"Parents registering children at Nyarutarama cell\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{Residents of Nyarutarama cell, Remera sector in Gasabo district, have expressed worries over local leaders\u2019 acts of prohibiting them from registering children in a newly built school in the area, if they are not subscribed to mituelle de sant\u00e9.} The school, Groupe Scolaire Remera, was built in the cell to facilitate students access education without [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2000071952,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[75],"byline":[160],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-22981","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-homenews","byline-theophile-niyitegeka"],"bylines":[{"id":160,"name":"Th\u00e9ophile Niyitegeka","slug":"theophile-niyitegeka","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":3}],"contributors":[{"id":160,"name":"Th\u00e9ophile Niyitegeka","slug":"theophile-niyitegeka","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":3}],"featured_image":{"id":2000071952,"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/arton22981.jpg","alt":"","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","width":0,"height":0,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/arton22981.jpg","width":1,"height":1},"medium":{"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/arton22981.jpg","width":1,"height":1},"medium_large":{"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/arton22981.jpg","width":1,"height":1},"large":{"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/arton22981.jpg","width":1,"height":1},"full":{"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/arton22981.jpg","width":0,"height":0}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22981"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22981\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2000071952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22981"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=22981"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=22981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
