Our education future needs a stronger return to the humanities

Building citizens grounded in values, ethics, and responsibility requires deliberate investment in the humanities, especially at the secondary school level. While Rwanda has rightly prioritized science, technology, and technical skills to drive economic transformation, these alone are not enough to shape well rounded citizens in a rapidly changing world. Technical skills can become outdated as technologies evolve, but the core capacities developed through the humanities endure.

This reflection became even clearer as i attentively followed the Umushyikirano panel held on Friday this week, which brought together the minister of education , CEO of Rwanda Governance Board, Scovia from the media, Bruce Melody an artist and Ishimwe, an entrepreneur. The discussion focused strongly on skills development, the quality of education, and job creation. These are all critical priorities for Rwanda’s future. However, as i listened, i felt that something essential was missing from the conversation.

To build not just skilled workers, but truly grounded Rwandan citizens, we must consciously reinvest in the humanities, especially given our historical past. Subjects such as history, literature, civic education, philosophy, ethics and languages help students develop critical thinking, clear expression, ethical reasoning, and a deeper understanding of society. These skills enable young people to question assumptions, make sound judgments, and navigate uncertainty throughout their lives. Humanities can contribute towards improving service delivery due to ethics course.

Rwanda’s own experience shows the value of this approach. Initiatives such as Itorero and Ndi Umunyarwanda rely heavily on historical reflection, ethics, dialogue, and shared values, all of which are rooted in the humanities. As Rwanda accelerates digitalization and innovation, the humanities provide the moral and intellectual compass that guides how knowledge and technology are used. Strengthening humanities education is therefore not a distraction from development, but a necessary foundation for responsible citizenship, social cohesion, and sustainable national progress.

[Joseph Nkurunziza Ryarasa @JosephRyarasa]

Once upon a time, I knew a man called Ladislas. At one point, he presented himself as a great patriot, someone who loved this country more than the rest of us. He often told me, and others in CSOs, that we were too critical simply because, during technical working group discussions, we asked questions for clarification. Once, in a heated moment, he even told me he would crash me. I looked at him and calmly said, time will tell. And indeed, wherever he is today, time has taught him its own lessons.

Which country on earth has ever failed to develop simply because it had critics? Since when did honest conversations become the enemy of progress? A moving car doesn’t stop just because a dog is barking behind it.

Constructive criticism demands critical thinking. Critical thinking requires the ability to question, to listen, and to reflect. Why are we so uncomfortable with tough questions, and so quick to shut them down? Progress is not built on praise alone. If we only listen to good stories, we risk ignoring the hard truths that are meant to help us move forward.

Development can only be achieved through innovation, and innovation happens when people question what is working and why certain things are not working. At university, we were taught analytical tools for this very purpose: to think critically, to examine assumptions, and to improve outcomes.

In Isaiah 1:18, the Lord says, “Come now, let us reason together,” reminding us that faith is not the absence of thought. God invites dialogue, logic, and moral reasoning.
