Since 2010 Best Grade has been used by schools in Rwanda. Before its introduction secondary schools were under pressure to handle their academic and administrative tasks. Best Grade appeared as a solution to the management obstacles that schools were facing. Now, with the support of IT Specialists LTD, Best Grade software has been distributed to schools in Eastern and Western Province over the last couple of months.

Thanks to IT Specialists LTD’s efforts, Project Best Grade has expanded into Nyagatare and Rwamagana districts in Eastern Province, as well as Gakenke and Gicumb in Northern Province.

As September approaches and schools start work on their year end records management, IT Specialists are expecting to see a large number of schools adopting Best Grade.

Best Grade is currently being used by a variety of schools across the country.  Last year Best Grade Associates visited a group of schools in the Southern and Northern Provinces. While introducing the product they discovered that, though some schools were in the middle of the academic year, they switched to Best Grade because they found it easy to use. Many schools in rural areas are converting their primary schools into nine year programs. Project Best Grade is determining a strategy to approach these schools to enhance their work through ICT.

Best Grade is proving itself by positively impacting Rwandan education. Thanks to the product, schools are able to save money and time and improve the quality of their services.
