This afternoon, the Ministry of Education, in partnership with the World Economic Forum’s Centre for the New Economy and Society hosted the launch workshop of the Education Accelerator Project.
The workshop focused on harnessing emerging technologies and innovative solutions to drive transformation in education and human capital development.
It brought together key stakeholders, including senior government officials policymakers, industry leaders, teachers’ associations, and development partners, marking the beginning of important conversations on designing initiatives that will support the development of our Rwanda’s human capital.
Key topics discussed included:
✅ Insights from global labor market trends and skills development
✅ Alignment of Rwanda’s education system with evolving market demands
✅ Public-private partnerships as drivers of transformation in education
Minister Joseph Nsengimana emphasized:
“Rwanda’s Vision 2050, with the goal of becoming a high-income, knowledge-based economy, requires urgent alignment of our education system with both local and global market needs. The launch of the Education Accelerator Project is a call to action. It is a shared mission to assess global trends, critically review our education system, and co-create solutions through dynamic public-private partnerships.”
As emerging technologies such as AI rapidly reshape how we acquire, assess, and apply knowledge, we face the challenge of redefining success in education and preparing talent for the future labor market. These advancements call for a reimagined approach to education that involves collaboration across policymakers, academia, learners, and employers.
Rwanda’s commitment to this transformation is anchored in its long-term Vision 2050, the National Strategy for Transformation (NST2), and the Education Strategic Plan (2024-2029). These frameworks highlight high-quality education and robust human capital development as key pillars for the nation's future growth and competitiveness.
To those who say 'African countries have been independent for 60 years: that's plenty of time to become wealthy', the answer is no.
With the cards they were dealt, from fake borders to lack of infra to lack of state capability to weak education, it's not much time at all.
Ethiopia's economic growth is being hampered by weak institutions and low human capital despite years of public investment, putting its regional competitiveness at risk, according to a new United Nations report.

"Evidently, food systems are about production, nutrition, connectivity, and trade, and they are about connecting farmers to markets, enabling small-scale farmers to become small and medium enterprises. They are also about providing consumers with essential information and addressing the impact of climate change, particularly, in the regions like Africa that suffer greatly despite net zero emissions." - Hailemariam Desalegn, Chair of the Board, AGRA.
