Last Thursday, at the occasion of a ceremony at the National University of Rwanda (NUR), the ministry of education warned against the genocide ideology in education establishments.
"The ministry of education is dedicated to fighting genocide ideology at all levels (of teaching)", stated the Minister of State in Ministry of Education, Theoneste Mutsindashyaka. He stressed that an academician possessed by genocide ideology could not enlighten people.
