Private schools in Rwanda are closing down due to low patronage and the attractiveness of public schools.

The “pròblem” started with the government’s twelve-year basic education policy which made public schools affordable and preferable.
The Ministry of Education invested hugely in expanding capacity and teaching infrastructure at public schools across the country. and introduced the school feeding programme and abolished school fees.

Desperate proprietors who face closure of their institutions are now asking the government to sponsor students in private schools at public school rates.
More than 30 private schools are said to have closed indefinitely in 2017, while others are struggling to stay afloat after losing students to public schools.

Such cannot be tenable with renovations and modernisation of State Houses, State Lodges, DP residences, Super Minister’s residences, First Lady & Second Lady and First Daughter’s Offices, State-sponsored Crusades, Ostentatious and High-end Luxurious Flights, spiked Fertilisers etc..etc.
Let’s watch in admiration and envy how things can be done equitably even in small economies.
