HIGHER EDUCATION COUNCIL LAUNCHES NATIONWIDE OUTREACH — UR NYARUGENGE IS FIRST STOP.

The Higher Education Council (HEC), under the Ministry of Education, has launched a nationwide outreach program across all Higher Learning Institutions in Rwanda — beginning today at the University of Rwanda's Nyarugenge Campus.

The initiative creates a focused platform for regulators and institutions to engage directly on teaching quality, governance, and the effective implementation of the newly developed Higher Education Sector Strategic Plan (HESSP) 2025–2030 — ensuring every HLI understands, owns, and delivers on its strategic priorities.

The University of Rwanda — home to 7 colleges, 13 teaching campuses, nearly 33,000 students, and over 600 international students — welcomes this engagement wholeheartedly.

Vice Chancellor Prof. Kayihura Muganga Didas thanked the Minister of Education for the government's continued support, while highlighting the need for more modern infrastructure to meet growing student enrollment demands.

Quality education. Strategic alignment.

Afin que le monde entier sache que l’AFC/M23 ne sont pas le Rwanda, ni des terroristes, mais des Congolais qui se battent pour leurs droits.

Si #Tshisekedi avait compris cela, il ne serait pas en train de subir une telle humiliation.

Maintenant, la population d'Uvira peut respirer.
