Ministry of Education
- Deputy Vice chancellor in charge of Academic and Research affairs.
- Deputy Vice Chancellor in charge of Finance, Administration and Human Resources
- Deputy Vice Chancellor in charge of Institutional Advancement.
As Rwanda’s
economy has grown at an average of 7.4% over 10 years, the number of higher
education students, standing at 2.500 just 19 years ago, has risen to 76,000
today.
Half of
these are in the publicly funded higher learning institutions.
Now the
government is in the process of establishing a single new university which will
be a merger of the seven existing higher learning institutions. It will be
composed of six colleges.
The
overarching aim of establishing the University of Rwanda is to transform the
public higher education system, to improve the quality and efficiency of
teaching, learning and research, and in the process, to create a world-class
university.
The goals
and objectives set out in the national plan are to increase access, promote
equity, and
ensure
institutional diversity while promoting high-level research capacity.
Quality
higher education is essential to provide support for Rwanda’s economic
transformation, and to attract and retain top quality personal.
