He says they have begun the school year at 150, but now, they are four students in a class. \u201cSome teachers left this school with students. They had a low success rate and left the school in the second term of this year\u201d, he says.<\/p>\n<p>However, those students hope they will pass the national exam. \u201cWe fear that our school could be closed given the lack of sufficient teachers and low success rate\u201d, he says. In addition, says another student, they doubt that the courses would be taught and finished on time. \u201cThe chances of success are very slim\u201d, he says.<\/p>\n<p>The basic schools to be closed are : \u00ab Ecole primaire de la chance de Kanyosha \u00bb, \u00ab Ecole Baptiste de l \u2018Afrique Centrale\u00bb, \u00ab le Buisson Ardent \u00bb, \u00ab Ecole King School Center \u00bb, \u00ab Ecole Notre Dame de Tendresse \u00bb, and \u00ab Ecole le Soleil de Demain de Kamenge \u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>Janvi\u00e8re Ndirahisha, Minister of Education, accused those schools of starting the basic school system without any permission. \u201cParents must look for other schools for their children\u201d, says Ndirahisha.<\/p>\n<p>On 17 May, the Minister of Education issued a ministerial ordinance that all headmasters of public schools whose results are less than 30% in the national test of 2016 and 2017 editions that they will be dismissed from their duties in the school year 2017-2018. \u201cThe competence of a headmaster is shown through the results obtained in the national tests. Less than 30% is an indication of incompetence for the management to bring the school to the minimum threshold of quality desired in teaching\u201d, says Janvi\u00e8re Ndirahisha, the Minister of Education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t know what will happen.
