COVID-19, Rwanda reopens classrooms, but only under certain conditions

The government of Kigali has decided to reopen the institutions in the face of the low number of active cases in the country, which to date are 190.

President Paul Kagame’s executive has ordered a gradual return of students: the first to return to class will be primary and secondary school students.

According to interviews and testimonies published in the local press, it will not be easy for many schools in the country to comply with the new rules, especially those in public and rural areas.
