The Rwandan government plans to invest 4.
8 billion Rwandan francs ($5 million) to connect every secondary school in the country to the internet
by the end of 2024.

According to local media reports, the Internet connection coverage in Rwandan schools is currently about 52%.

Authorities are targeting 62 percent
this year.

Currently, 724 of Rwanda's 1,459 public secondary schools are connected to the Internet, of which 678 are connected via 4G networks
.

According to the Rwanda Education Commission REB, this goal is in line with the National Transformation Strategy (NST1), which aims to achieve universal internet connectivity
in public schools by 2024.

In 2017, when NST1 was launched, internet connectivity in Rwanda's public secondary schools was only 12%.

REB said internet connectivity will help students improve their performance because they can easily access academic content
online.
In addition, the recent Gigabit Initiative launched by Rwanda as lead nation will help accelerate the achievement of that goal
.

Launched in 2019 by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the initiative aims to provide connectivity to every school in the world by 2030
