We want a country founded on our values and on education. We want to transform our country, to be liberated from poverty and ignorance,\u201d stressed Kagame. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing part of Itorero also teaches you the role you have in moving the country forward. Being educated is not enough; you must have discipline and values. Itorero gives you the values to put your education to use,\u201d added the President. <\/p>\n<p>Kagame thanked parents for allowing the youth to be part of Itorero, enabling them to learn about their culture, country and where the country is going.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cItorero is about raising our children and educating them in our culture. We want our country to be founded on our own values. We want to value our culture, promote it and learn from it,\u201d he said.  <\/p>\n<p>The President highlighted that when someone is being taught, part of it is listening and following the teachings which should not be followed blindly. <\/p>\n<p>He, therefore, urged the youth to use their own thinking to discern right from wrong and voice their own ideas. Kagame also reminded the youth to turn against wrong values or behaviors like drug abuse and draw attention to their future and the country as well.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-31349 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/ry6b0765-4-65fc5-2.jpg\" alt=\"Kagame thanked parents for allowing the youth to be part of Itorero\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-31350 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/ry6b0906-3-85ccf-2.jpg\" alt=\"The 12th edition of civic education program dubbed Itorero Indangamirwa which comprised of 698 trainees\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-31351 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/ry6b0953-2-aae46-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-31352 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/ry6b1051-2-45931-2.jpg\" alt=\"President Paul Kagame has urged Rwandan youth on discipline and promoting own values and culture upon which the country\u2019s progress has to be founded.\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-31353 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/ry6b1097-2-b3b90-2.jpg\" alt=\"Kagame urged the youth to use their own thinking to discern right from wrong and voice their own ideas.\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-31354 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/ry6b1120-2-f07e1-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Paul Kagame has urged Rwandan youth on discipline and promoting own values and culture upon which the country\u2019s progress has to be founded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[75],"byline":[170],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-39821","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-homenews","byline-igihe"],"bylines":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","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":8}],"contributors":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","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":8}],"featured_image":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39821","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\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39821"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39821\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39821"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39821"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39821"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=39821"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=39821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
