In March 2015, Presidents Kagame and Museveni met in Kigali at a gathering of alumni from Ntare School in Uganda, where they pledged financial support for the construction of Ntare School Rwanda Chapter.

President Kagame, who attended this high school in Uganda from 1972 at the age of 15 until he was 19, committed to contributing 100 million Rwandan Francs.

Museveni, who attended the school from 1962 to 1966, pledged to contribute $200,000.

Speaking at a dinner for the alumni association held at the Kigali Convention Centre on March 8, 2024, President Kagame informed the members that Museveni had quickly fulfilled his pledge, taking the opportunity to thank him.

He said, "I want to thank the President of Uganda, Kaguta Yoweri Museveni, for bringing us together in the name of Ntare School, and for making a significant contribution. You may remember from our last meeting here, he committed to contribute towards building the school and he delivered in a short time. We built upon that."

President Kagame proposed that parts of Ntare School, including dormitories, laboratories, and sports fields, should be named after alumni who have performed exceptionally well.

However, the President clarified that he and Museveni should not be among those honored, as they have already had many things named after them. He said, "Museveni and I have been fortunate to have many things named after us, I want us to be excluded from this."

He continued, "Set criteria, let those in Uganda choose the names; two, three, four, five, or six, and do the same on the Rwandan side, we will use these names as a perpetual reminder of the cooperation between both sides."

The construction of Ntare School Rwanda began in 2019. It is expected to be inaugurated in 2024, having cost 6 billion Rwandan Francs for construction. The school will have the capacity to accommodate 1,100 students, contain 5 laboratories, and 35 classrooms.
