Preface

The National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) is a semi-autonomous

institution aligned to the Ministry of Education. NCHE was established under the:

law NO.23/2006 governing the National Council for Higher Education.

NCHE is responsible for securing coherent provision of quality higher education

in Rwanda in line with the government policies and priorities. It is in this regard,

that NCHE has been publishing statistical data in higher education.

The Higher Education Statistics (HES) is one of the most important documents

as it provides the detailed information and data about the student’s enrolment,

Academic Staff, Gender parity index and other useful information in Higher

Learning Institutions that operate in Rwanda.

The data collection process and the report have been produced in house by staff

of the National Council for Higher Education. The report highlights the main

statistics which we think are very useful to the reader as well as the education

stakeholders with a purpose of addressing the higher education system in

Rwanda. This report is the second after the one published in 2010. We wish you

the best and your inputs will be highly considered.

Prof. Geoffrey RUGEGE

Executive Director

Rwanda National Council for Higher Education

INTRODUCTION

We are delighted to introduce to you the report on Higher Learning Institutions

statistics as they were collected from Higher Learning Institutions (HLI) that are

already operating in Rwanda.

These statistics were collected from August-September, 2011 and will provide

to the reader the picture of the Higher Learning situation.

The idea is that with unbiased credible data, the Higher Education Council will

be able to map out the way forward and meet the targets as set by the

government. In addition, statistics refers to the collection, presentation, analysis,

and utilization of the numerical data to inferences and reach decisions in the face

of uncertainty in planning, management, education, etc.

The primary mission of the Higher Education Council is the maintenance of

quality assurance in the provision of higher education, to ensure that higher

learning institutions in Rwanda produce citizens consistent to the labor market.

The mission can’t be achieved without statistical facts on which to base the

decisions for improving the higher education system.

CHAPTER TWO: HIGHER EDUCATION ENROLLMENT

2.1. Enrollment statistics in HLIs by 2010 and 2011

thus joining private institutions in big numbers.

CHAPTER FIVE: Conclusions and Recommendations

In the public institutions, the female students’ enrolment is still low

compared to the males. More efforts should be made for gender balance in

higher education enrolment.

The GER in Rwandan HLIs is 8.5% which is far less than that of

Developing countries. Many efforts to increase the students’ enrolment as

well as increasing number of Higher Learning Institutions are necessary.

It has been seen that, almost a half of the enrolled students are found in

the fields of Social Science, Business and Law compared to the other

fields of education. Encouragement should be done to increase enrolment

in the other fields in line with labour market information and employment

survey.

Most of the universities in Rwanda still lack the capacity to hold the

postgraduate programs, the government should encourage the institutions

to avail the relevant programs and encourage postgraduate enrolment.

Higher Learning Institutions are mostly concentrated in Kigali City; effort

should be made for the other provinces to increase access in higher

education enrolment.
