Rwanda: Outcry as Rwandan govt shifts money to primary education

In an attempt to meet the development goal of universal access to primary education by 2015, Rwanda’s government has decided to reallocate a large part of its tertiary education budget to the primary education sector. As a result, thousands of students who rely on bursaries fear that they will have to abandon their studies if their allowances and merit-based college scholarships - which cover students' tuition fees, accommodation and living expenses - are scrapped.
