Exploring the new curriculum

The world today is changing, and rapidly. As countries become more interconnected, so are all sectors of life — education, technology, trade among others. It is more common today to see people from all parts of the world seeking employment elsewhere and with the hope that they won’t be turned down because of their tribe, gender or race. Instead, one can only be denied a job if they don’t have the required skills. As a result, some governments are preparing their citizens to be marketable on the international scene. That is why Rwanda Education Board (REB), starting 2016, is set to revamp the curriculum to fit international (UNESCO) standards.
