Rwanda: Shortage of Trained Teachers, Stigma Hinder Inclusive Education in Rwanda

The shortage of trained teachers and persistent social stigma continue to hinder the full implementation of inclusive education in Rwanda, advocates for people with disabilities have said.

Despite efforts by the Rwanda Education Board (REB), which reports that 49% of teachers have received training in inclusive education, experts say there are still significant gaps, particularly for students with sensory impairments and mobility challenges.
