The Mission
In July 2025, Day of AI and MIT RAISE, in collaboration with the Rwanda Ministry of Education and the Rwanda Education Board (REB), launched a first-of-its-kind national initiative to bring AI literacy to every classroom in Rwanda. This initiative aims to demystify artificial intelligence for every educator in Rwanda, turning the technology into a practical classroom tool. Furthermore, by integrating AI literacy into the national curriculum for primary and secondary students, we are preparing a future-ready workforce capable of driving Rwanda’s knowledge economy.
“AI can help teachers give more personalized attention to students and enhance their progress. It will and should be used to enhance classroom learning and support teachers, not replace them.”
— H.E. Joseph Nsengimana, Minister of Education, Rwanda
Highlights
In July 2025, over 150 master teachers from all districts across the country participated in a four-day training led by Dr. Randi Williams, Head of Research at Day of AI. The program marks a major step toward integrating artificial intelligence education into Rwanda’s primary and secondary school ICT curriculum.
The first phase of our cascading training model concluded in December 2026, with over 5,000 teachers attending trainings. We are especially proud of the inclusivity of this rollout, with female educators making up 46% of the participating teachers. Peer-to-peer support from our AI Champions is closing the knowledge gap, ensuring that even those new to the technology reach a high level of professional confidence.
