Nyaruguru: a local primary school not innovated since 1936

Nyaruguru – Since 1936 the White fathers built a primary school in Nyumba cell, Ngere sector in Nyaruguru through which many Rwandans have studied.  The school did not change or benefit from a economic move that other schools enjoyed.

The school roofs are made up by tiles but without electric installations. The one laptop per child program can’t be operational due to the lack of electric power.

The head master of the school, Ntirushwa Alexis told UM– USEKE that the school had few students in the previous before the Genocide.

Ntirushwa urges the concerned institutions to provide adequate learning and teaching material as to help the increasing number of students earn knowledge and professional skills.

Despite these problems, the school is among the most performing ones in the district as 97 per cent successfully passed the exams in last academic year.

The school has over 585 students thought by 10 devoted teachers.

The supervisor of the school told UM– USEKE that the administration is informed about these challenges but nothing has been done as to regulate the situation.
