Residents of Nyamagabe District have commended the performance of students enrolled in 12 Year Basic Education schools (12YBE) noting that they rank among best performers in the Southern Province.

Among 6 schools that performed well during O’ Level Examination, 5 of them were schools of 12YBE.
The schools are GS Kibyagira, Buteteri Gasave, Gatare and GS Nyarwungo.
One of Nyamagabe residents said “We used to think that these schools cannot perform well, however, we have found that students from these schools have demonstrated a strong ability to win national exams,” Mukakayijuka Christine said.
9YBE Schools are public schools constructed by residents themselves through a monthly community work “Umuganda”.
