Abstract
The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of ICT indicators used to support education in formal secondary schools in Rwanda. By examining related research papers, Rwandan ministerial reports, and relevant journals, we were able to obtain secondary data for analysis. Additionally, primary data were collected from 46 secondary schools through a questionnaire. Overall, Rwanda has demonstrated significant improvement over the course of just one year. The ratio of students to computers increased from 27:1 in 2016 to 7:1 in 2017, and access to electricity increased from 25% in 2016 to 95.7% in 2017. Additionally, the number of ICT-trained teachers increased from 2.5% in 2016 to 43.7% in 2017. However, there are still improvements to be made; only 43.5% of schools have an Internet connection, and, of those, only 37.1% of students actually use it.
