🎉 Rwanda PLE 2024/2025 Results: Celebrating Excellence, Hard Work, and the Future of Education
The long-awaited moment has finally arrived! The National Examination and School Inspection Authority (NESA), under the Ministry of Education, has officially released the results of the Primary Leaving Examination (PLE) 2024/2025. For thousands of Rwandan families, this is not just an announcement of grades, but a celebration of dreams, resilience, and the power of education.
This year’s results highlight stories of determination, excellence, and opportunities for improvement across different districts. With over 219,926 learners sitting for the exams, the outcomes reflect both the individual brilliance of top performers and the collective progress of Rwanda’s education system.
🌟 Meet Rwanda’s Top 6 Stars
Among all the candidates, six young learners stood out with remarkable scores, proving that hard work pays off and that age is never too early for greatness.
🎉 These learners have set the bar high, not just for their schools and districts, but for Rwanda as a whole. They remind us that with discipline, support from teachers and parents, and a vision for the future, outstanding success is within reach.
Interestingly, Bugesera District dominates this year’s top list, with four of the six best performers coming from the district. This raises important questions about what is working well in Bugesera’s education system and how other districts can learn from their strategies.
📊 District Pass Rate: The Bigger Picture
Beyond individual performances, district-wide results paint a clear picture of where education is thriving and where more effort is needed.
🥇 Kirehe District tops the chart with an impressive 97.09% pass rate, showing consistent excellence and a strong commitment to quality education.
On the other hand, Nyaruguru District had the lowest pass rate, standing at 64.57%, reminding policymakers, educators, and communities of the importance of targeted interventions.
District pass rates matter because they reveal inequalities and opportunities in the education system. While some districts have invested heavily in teacher training, school infrastructure, and parental engagement, others are still catching up. Bridging this gap is essential for Rwanda’s long-term vision of inclusive and high-quality education for all.
📌 The Numbers Behind the Results
The national statistics give us a closer look at how learners performed overall:
-
Candidates who sat for exams: 219,926
-
Graded candidates: 219,900
-
Candidates who passed: 166,334
-
National pass rate: 75.64%
While a 75.64% pass rate shows encouraging progress, it also means that nearly one in four learners did not meet the required standard. This calls for reflection: what more can be done to support struggling learners, especially in rural and under-resourced areas?
👩 Girls Lead the Way: Gender Balance in Education
One of the most inspiring stories from this year’s PLE is the performance of girls. According to NESA:
-
👩 Girls made up 53.2% of all candidates who passed.
-
👦 Boys made up 46.8%.
This success story for girls is not just about numbers; it is about empowerment. It shows that Rwanda’s policies to encourage girls’ education — from community programs to scholarships and mentorship — are bearing fruit. More girls are not only attending school but excelling academically.
At the same time, the gap highlights the need to motivate and support boys to stay competitive in education. Achieving balance is key to creating a future workforce where everyone contributes equally.
🌍 Why PLE Matters Beyond the Classroom
For many learners, PLE marks the end of primary education and the beginning of a new chapter in secondary school. It is a transition point that shapes their confidence, their vision, and their opportunities.
But beyond individual stories, PLE results reflect Rwanda’s collective investment in education. They tell us how schools are functioning, how teachers are supported, and how families are involved in shaping the next generation. Every percentage point in the pass rate is a mirror of community effort.
Education is more than just exams — it is about preparing citizens for Rwanda’s journey towards innovation, sustainability, and leadership on the global stage.
💡 Lessons and Way Forward
From this year’s PLE results, a few key lessons stand out:
-
Excellence is possible everywhere – Districts like Kirehe and Bugesera have shown that with the right focus, learners can achieve outstanding results.
-
Equity matters – The gap between top-performing and low-performing districts highlights the need for targeted support, especially in rural areas.
-
Girls’ success is a national victory – Empowering girls benefits not just families, but the entire nation.
-
Education is a shared responsibility – Parents, teachers, policymakers, and communities must continue working hand in hand.
🎓 A Final Word of Encouragement
To every learner who sat for the exams: you have already taken a bold step. Whether you are among the top performers or not, your journey does not end here. Success in education is not only measured by scores but by the resilience and determination you carry forward.
To the top achievers, we celebrate you for being shining examples. To those who did not achieve their desired results, remember that failure is not the end, but a stepping stone to growth.
As Rwanda continues to invest in education, these results are a reminder that the future is bright, and that every child deserves the chance to shine.
