In O’ Level, Tumukunde Francoise from ISF school Nyamasheke district, Southern province emerged the best student, followed by Umutoni Ange Diane from Lycée Notre Dame de Citeaux in Nyarugenge district.
On the third position comes Believer Gall Hirwa from Ecole de Science de Musanze, from Musanze district, Northern Province.
The best national winner in ‘O’ level, Tumukunde Francoise said.
“When schools were closed, I didn’t rest in reading my books, it was an opportunity for me to read every subject. My parents did everything for me like waking me up to read at night, I was so much fixed with reading, didn’t get time play like children did during the lockdown, I’m very much thankful to my teachers, they gave me all the required skills and answering questions,” Mucyo, the best student in O level said.
She wants to be a surgeon doctor in future.
In bid to solve school placement issues, the Ministry of education has introduced an online portal that parents and students will log in to know students’ placement.
A student goes to www.reb.rw and uses the index number, the student’s name and follows procedures.
This website gives the scores, name of school where she/ he was placed and combination for those joining Advanced level.
For telephone users, they can send a message on 4891 to get the same information.
The top best students in either level were awarded with laptops.
