Rwanda’s Ministry of Education and the Rwanda Basic Education Board (REB), alongside education leaders Day of AI and MIT RAISE, concluded the first, highly successful phase of national training program to equip all primary and secondary school teachers in the nation with foundational AI literacy. The first round of training reached over 5,000 teachers across all districts of Rwanda and concluded at the end of December 2025.

This foundational training will continue through the 2025-26 school year and marks the official launch of a national initiative.
