The government's plan for the education sector beyond the 2015 Millennium Development Goals is to develop an education system that will be responsive to labour market needs, the Minister for Education, Prof. Silas Lwakabamba, has said.
Lwakabamba was speaking at the opening of a three-day Unesco-Africa regional conference in Kigali yesterday. The conference brings together ministers and other high-level education officials from more than 10 sub-Saharan African countries.
The meeting has also attracted other global actors in education to discuss issues, challenges and priorities for education post-2015.
Lwakabamba said following the achievement of MDG related to the education sector and the Education For All initiative, Rwanda would embark on developing a system that reflects the social, economic and demographic transformation that the country is going through.
