Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame, on Tuesday, has met with Julia Gillard, Chairperson of Global Partnership for Education and former Australian Prime Minister who is in the country to attend a three-day Unesco-Africa regional conference which started on Monday.
Previously speaking at the official launch of the meeting, Julia Gillard called for increased partnerships among global partners in the provision of quality education that goes beyond basic learning.
Meanwhile Rwanda has so far achieved targets set in the MDGs in education as well as objectives set by the Education for All initiative by making necessary investments and forging partnerships.
However among the challenges that continued to hold back access to education especially in the sub-Saharan region, were the high number of children still out of school, mostly girls.
