The Ministry of Education and MTN Rwanda signed a partnership to expand digital skills development and widen access to digital learning across Rwanda’s education sector. During the event, the Digital Skills for Digital Jobs initiative a digital learning and career-guidance platform designed to equip Rwandan youth with market-relevant skills for the country’s growing digital economy was officially launched.

Speaking at the launch, Joseph Nsengimana, the Minister of Education, emphasized the practical focus of the partnership and its direct benefits for teachers and young people, noting that, “This partnership between the Government of Rwanda, through the Ministry of Education, and MTN is about more than connectivity it is about skills that change lives. By expanding access to digital learning for students, teachers, and out-of-school youth, we are equipping young people with the skills they need not only to succeed, but to thrive in the 21st-century economy. 

Through this partnership, teachers undertaking English-language courses will benefit from affordable, customised bundles, while education content will be made easier and more accessible. 

Beneficiaries of the RISE Programme will also be supported, and more broadly, young people across the country will gain access to over 500 digital courses. Together, these efforts will open pathways to jobs, informed career choices, and inclusive growth, reflecting our commitment to ensuring that no learner is left behind in Rwanda’s digital transformation.”
