REAP starts the Saturday Tutoring to help improve national exam scores

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, public schools were closed for 8 months across Rwanda. This caused an instructional and learning gap which has left children unprepared for the upcoming national exams in July 2021. In the Rwandan Education System, national exams are important and critical in determining a child's future. Scoring with distinction on national exams allows students to go to schools of excellence which opens more opportunities for tertiary education and/or jobs.

To address the instructional gap, REAP started a Saturday Tutoring program for 120 ninth graders in Musha Sector. Every Saturday for 4 hours, students in small classes of 20, are tutored by the best teachers selected from Musha and neighboring Sectors. Tutoring is focused on the six most challenging subjects, math, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, and English.
