Rwanda will temporarily close day schools in Kigali for six days to ease congestion in the city during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) scheduled for the next week.
“In order to ease traffic flow in the City of Kigali during CHOGM, and to avoid disruption to movement of day scholars and their teachers, the Ministry of Education would like to inform parents and students… all day schools in Kigali will be closed from 20th to 26th June 2022,” said Mr Gaspard Twagirayezu, Minister of State in charge of Primary and Secondary Education in a statement issued on Monday.
