{The Ministry of Education (MINEDUC) says students should not concentrate on theoretical studies but strive into practicing what they learnt to solve various problems affecting Rwandan society.}<\/p>\n
Rwandan government has been strengthening efforts in the delivery of scientific courses, providing different motivations. <\/p>\n
Dr. Marie- Christine Gasingirwa, the Director of Science, Technology and Research in MINEDUC said that it is time for students to put in practice what they learn to contribute to the country\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n
She revealed this yesterday during a competition that brought together students studying sciences in various schools.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is better to apply one\u2019s knowledge, come up with new innovations other than relying upon other people\u2019s books. This will help to implement various development programs including Vision 2020. When students memorize only without practicing, they are likely to lose jobs at the labor market. Those who have good projects will be sponsored,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Some students involved in the competition have demonstrated a better way of draining water from marshlands without using electricity in a project they called \u2018Ram Pump\u2019 saying it will reduce costs spent on draining marshlands.<\/p>\n
Dr.Gasinzirwa said that sponsorships from industries and other investors is needed to successfully implement such projects. <\/p>\n
This competition of students studying sciences was held for the 5th time with 170 participating from 61 schools. Throughout the competition, some students passed written exams while others demonstrated science related projects.<\/p>\n
Ram Pump project was recognized as the best project, designed by students from Gashora Girls Academy.<\/p>\n
Mutezinka Sandrine who led the delegation of students who designed the \u2018Ram Pump\u2019 project acknowledged that science will help them to contribute to the nation\u2019s development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
