He made the remarks on June 9, 2026, while appearing before members of the Parliamentary Committee on Education, Technology, Culture, Sports and Youth to discuss the implementation of Law No. 010/2021 governing the education structure.

Dr. Kadozi explained that the law has enabled higher learning institutions to introduce new academic programmes, contributing to improved education quality and attracting more international students to Rwanda.

“The introduction of programmes has created many opportunities for a wide range of new programmes to be launched. This law gave us that opportunity, and as we speak, we have about 13,000 international students, a number that continues to increase,” he said.

As of the 2024/25 academic year, Rwanda had 39 higher learning institutions and universities, up from 37 in the previous year.
