Education Development Trust, Rwanda

Education Development Trust has a long history of working in Rwanda. Our teams worked with the ministry of education in a post-genocide Rwanda in 2001 to design the education sector strategic plan, the framework of which is still in use today. Our latest three-and-a-half-year programme, Building Learning Foundations, is about getting the foundations in place to positively effect the rest of Rwanda's education system.

Our UK-funded Building Learning Foundations focuses on establishing solid foundations at lower primary level (P1 to P3) in all government and government-aided schools. Improvements in learning outcomes in lower primary grades are intended to improve children’s learning achievement in higher grades and so increase equitable access to primary and secondary education for girls and boys across the country. Cutting across our interventions is a focus on enhancing inclusive education approaches and rigorous monitoring and evaluation.
