Dear Editor,

Recently, the National University of Rwanda revealed that starting this year; the famous university will not admit private students anymore.

Yesterday, I again read in your daily that the School of Finance and Banking (SFB) has also taken the same decision in a bid to match the school’s infrastructure.

This leaves me wondering where private students will attain education from. It is a fact that in most cases, private students in higher institutions of learning out number the government sponsored ones, so it is necessary that government plans for these big numbers too. 

Otherwise we may face a bigger challenge of a brain drain. Those students may consider crossing over to other countries to further their education and may never return to work in Rwanda.
