We shall build more classrooms progressively as we get more funds,\u201d noted Sebutege adding that construction of new facilities shall go hand in hand with upgrading old classrooms.  <\/p>\n<p>They will be built within three phases starting from schools with the land.  <\/p>\n<p>If it goes into effect, the development will address overcrowding and contribute to quality education.  Some of the teachers at Groupe Scolaire  Gafumba from the Rusatira sector revealed that overcrowding negatively impacts quality education at the school where six children sometimes share one desk.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen each of the six students on the same desks opens a book, the cover spreads to colleague\u2019s book leading to clashes.  We often calm down such quarrels,\u201d said one teacher.  <\/p>\n<p>The problem is common at Groupe Scolaire Rukira where five students share one desk.   <\/p>\n<p>A total of 55 classrooms were built in Huye district during the last financial year.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-31897 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/muri_kimwe_mu_cyumba_cy_ishuri_cyo_ku_ku_rwunge_rw_amashuri_rwa_gafumba_mu_murenge_wa_rusatira-1256b.jpg\" alt=\"The management of Huye district has announced plans to build new 121 classrooms in 2019\/2020 to address overcrowding in schools.\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The management of Huye district has announced plans to build new 121 classrooms in 2019\/2020 to address overcrowding in schools.<\/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-39950","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\/39950","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=39950"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39950\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39950"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=39950"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=39950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
