Let’s be honest about what the call actually says. It doesn’t list any perks, so here’s what this opportunity means in plain terms.

You get a path from an A2 qualification to an undergraduate degree, without leaving the classroom
A higher qualification can open doors for your career in teaching and education
You study at the University of Rwanda, the country’s biggest public university
You’re doing it with REB’s recommendation behind you

Check with UR-CE directly about anything like fees or study arrangements, since the announcement doesn’t cover those.

Eligibility Criteria

You can apply if you are:

An A2 in-service teacher
Recommended by the Rwanda Education Board (REB)

If REB hasn’t recommended you, this call isn’t open to you.
