School Management System for Rwanda Schools

Rwanda Education Board (REB) + Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) · Approximately 3.5 million learners enrolled across 2,600+ primary and secondary schools

Overview

Rwanda's education system is administered by the Rwanda Education Board (REB) under the Ministry of Education, operating a 6-3-3 structure: six years of Primary, three years of Lower Secondary (O-Level), and three years of Upper Secondary (A-Level). Rwanda adopted a Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) in 2015, emphasising practical skills and critical thinking over rote learning. The Rwanda National Examination and School Inspection Authority (NESA) administers the Primary Leaving Examination (PLE), the Ordinary Level National Examination (O-Level), and the Advanced Level National Examination (A-Level). Rwanda is one of Africa's most digitally progressive education systems, with significant investment in ICT in schools through the Smart Classroom initiative. RedeemOS aligns with Rwanda's digital education agenda, providing a cloud-native school management platform that supports CBC assessment and local mobile payment integration.
