Hi Kinyarwanda learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn useful vocabulary related to education.
Education in Rwanda

The Rwandan education system is comprised of six years of primary education, followed by six years of secondary education. After secondary education, students can opt to attend university or vocational school.
