Zimbabwe’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Professor Amon Murwira, made the announcement during a visit to Kigali where he co-chaired the Third Joint Permanent Commission on Cooperation (JPCC) alongside Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Olivier Nduhungirehe.
“The cooperation between our nations in the education sector has been outstanding and stands as a model for Pan-African collaboration,” Murwira stated. The two governments signed five new bilateral agreements spanning key sectors such as energy, health, and education.
Currently, over 150 Zimbabwean teachers are working in Rwanda under a partnership that began in 2022. Minister Murwira confirmed that recruitment for a second group of Zimbabwean education professionals is well underway.
The scholarship offer is expected to further strengthen ties between Rwanda and Zimbabwe while expanding opportunities for knowledge sharing and academic growth.
