ADULT EDUCATION STRATEGIC PLAN 2014/2015 – 2018/2019

In Rwanda, literacy and formal education began only in 1900 soon after the arrival of Christian missionaries, namely the White Fathers. Despite the fact that they were introduced in Rwanda by missionaries and colonialists, literacy and formal education faced several obstacles such as traditional culture, which bound people more to agriculture and livestock as the only means of subsistence. Also, the population considered the time to learn reading and writing as a hobby.
