Is the education system choking the budding talent?

When you look around you can’t help but notice that, very often, the wealthiest people aren’t the overly educated ones but rather the people who have put great effort in nurturing whatever talent they have. In Rwanda, many schools have focused on what they deem are the most ‘important’ subjects like math, physics and chemistry. However, not every student is strong in these fields; many would rather take subjects they are more interested in like fine art, dance, music and literature.  Speaking to various artists, they believe that this lack of support has hindered the development of our local art scene.
