In recent years, Rwanda has promoted science and technology as enablers of economic development. However, this goal requires enormous efforts to ensure high-quality education for sciences and their effective application to solve problems in various fields.

As result of gaps such as poor curriculum and infrastructure, some talented youths go abroad for studies at world-class institutions and remain there yet the country needs specialists and experts in many sectors of the economy.
