  • POLICY BRIEF Developing Muhanga District Findings from a Multidimensional Analysis
    I 2020 POLICY BRIEF Developing Muhanga District Findings from a Multidimensional Analysis SUMMARY Secondary cities matter a lot in the provision of a more balanced sustainable urban growth for the country. Stimulating urbanisation through the secondary city agenda is expected to create jobs and reduce poverty. These cities have the potential to act as poles of growth and relieve the pressure on Kigali, which currently dominates the Rwandan economy. With an eye on government target to achieve an urbanisation rate of 35% by 2024, IPAR-Rwanda has conducted an in-depth analysis of the opportunities and challenges which are faced by secondary cities. This policy brief aims at providing information and guiding deliberations on the development and strengthening of Muhanga, a district of 318,965 inhabitants, located in the Southern Province. It sets out an approach of workforce development, strategic planning and investments to create bottom-up growth and support for opportunity sectors to achieve this goal. Urbanised at a rate of 16% but with a high reliance on agriculture and service sectors, economic policy and infrastructure planning needs to be tailored to the urge to increase the market size of Muhanga. This can be done through rural-urban linkages and promoting urban density building on its strategic position as a hub for Kigali and the province and developing latent extractive and light manufacturing industries. A. Introduction: The vision for secondary cities1 The Government of Rwanda has put in place strong pressure on Kigali, the country’s economic hub. measures to plan and master its urbanisation for In order to unlock the potential of secondary cities, the future.

  • Social Studies for Ttc Schools Option: Ealy Child Hood and Lower Primary Education (Eclpe) Year One
    SOCIAL STUDIES FOR TTC SCHOOLS OPTION: EALY CHILD HOOD AND LOWER PRIMARY EDUCATION (ECLPE) YEAR ONE STUDENT BOOK © 2020 Rwanda Education Board (REB). All rights reserved. This book is property of the Government of Rwanda. Credit must be given to REB when the content is quoted. FOREWORD The Rwanda Education Board is honoured to avail the Social Studies Student’s Book, Year One for Teacher Training Colleges (TTCs) in ECLPE Option and it serves as official guide to teaching and learning of Social Studies. The Rwandan education philosophy is to ensure that young people at every level of education achieve their full potential in terms of relevant knowledge, skills and appropriate attitudes that prepare them to be well integrated in society and exploit employment opportunities. The ambition to develop a knowledge-based society and the growth of regional and global competition in the job market has necessitated the shift to a competence-based curriculum. After a successful shift from knowledge to a competence-based curriculum in general education, TTC curriculum also was revised to align it to the CBC in general education to prepare teachers who are competent and confident to implement CBC in pre-primary and primary education. The rationale of the changes is to ensure that TTC leavers are qualified for job opportunities and further studies in higher education in different programs under education career advancement. I wish to sincerely express my appreciation to the people who contributed towards the development of this document, particularly, REB staff, lecturers, TTC Tutors, Teachers from general education and experts from Local and International Organizations for their technical support.
