Rwanda has achieved notable success in the education sector, boasting one of the highest net enrollment rates in Sub-Saharan Africa with 95.2 percent of children enrolled in primary school.

The remaining challenges include increasing literacy and numeracy levels and reducing the school drop-out rates. To meet its development goals and to strengthen the necessary human capital, Rwanda needs to increase the quality of basic education service delivery.
In close partnership with the Ministry of Education, USAID is increasing equitable access to educational support for marginalized students, such as persons with disabilities and young women.
