This study documents the strategies of the management of education in Rwanda since the 1994 war and genocide. Never again covers the provision of education for the people of Rwanda, including internally displaced persons and returning refugees. It emphasizes the work of the Ministry of Education in reconstructing the education system. It also analyzes Rwanda’s educational objectives and describes the education system before 1994, the heavy damage it suffered during the war and genocide, the efforts made in the wake of the conflict and finally the reorganization and capacity building of the Ministry itself. Anna Obura demonstrates that the Government of Rwanda is making serious efforts to provide an all-inclusive education system and to bring an end to exclusion, alienation and discrimination in education. In conclusion, the study listens to the voices of children learning in school in Rwanda today, and to the teachers. It produces evidence of the joy of returning home, to school, and of the positive value of education in conflict situations.
