A delegation of Uganda government officials is in Rwanda for three days to study Rwanda’s Students’ Loan scheme and determine how it could be applied in Uganda.
They are led by Jessica Alupo, Uganda’s Education minister.
The delegation met with Staff of Rwanda Education Board. Alupo told media that Rwanda has successfully implemented the scheme and this is what Uganda wants to learn and replicate.
She commended the way Higher learning Education for vulnerable students are sponsored in Rwanda.
