Rwanda’s Schools Grow to Nearly 5,000, But Overcrowding Worsens
Education in Rwanda is growing rapidly, driven by curriculum reforms, improved teacher training, and expanded school infrastructure. According to the Ministry of Education’s 2023/2024 report, Rwanda had 4,986 schools by July 2024, enrolling about 4.8 million students — a 7% increase from the previous year. Despite progress, overcrowding remains a challenge, with an average of 52 pupils per classroom compared to the recommended 46 by UNESCO. Primary education dominates the system, accounting for over 3 million learners, while tertiary enrolment reached 130,474 students. Teacher numbers rose to 123,818, yet many still lack professional training.
