In a statement issued on Sunday, August 30, the ministry said investigations into suspected malpractice had established that mass cheating occurred in 254 examination rooms, affecting 7,188 learners.
Although examination malpractice would ordinarily result in the cancellation of the affected examinations, the ministry said it had decided to allow the learners to sit the examinations again after establishing that some of the cheating had been orchestrated and facilitated by adults responsible for administering the tests.
'In the interest of fairness and the future of the affected learners, the Ministry has therefore decided to allow them to retake the Primary Leaving Examinations,' the statement said.
The retake examinations will be held from September 2 to 4, with the National Examination and School Inspection Authority (NESA) expected to announce the examination timetable, designated centres and further guidance on August 31.
The Ministry of Education and NESA will work with learners, parents, schools and local authorities to ensure the process is managed with minimal disruption, according to the statement.
The development comes barely days after the national examination results were released, showing a significant improvement in performance at the primary school level.
Announcing the results on August 20, NESA Director General Dr Bahati Bernard said the national pass rate had risen to 88.21 percent in the 2025/26 academic year, compared with 75.6 percent in the previous year.
A total of 276,579 learners from 3,895 schools sat the examinations, with boys recording a pass rate of 89.59 percent, slightly higher than the 87.1 percent registered by girls.
The ministry said the integrity of national examinations remained non-negotiable and announced plans to strengthen the examination system following the malpractice.
It also warned that everyone found to have organised, facilitated, participated in or deliberately enabled the cheating would be held accountable.

Rwanda's Minister of State for Youth and Arts, Sandrine Umutoni, has urged young people to critically examine the forces influencing their fashion and dress choices, as debate over decency and dress codes continues to grow.
Umutoni made the remarks amid renewed debate over dress and decency among young people, following an incident at the Diamond Platnumz Experience at the BK Arena Parking Lot on Saturday, August 29, where some attendees, particularly young women, were reportedly stopped from entering over clothing deemed too revealing.
The police action has sparked debate, with some young people describing the enforcement as harassment and questioning the extent to which authorities should regulate personal dress choices.
Rather than reducing the debate to whether the State is attempting to control people's bodies, Umutoni said there was a need to examine the wider forces influencing fashion trends.
'I have been reflecting on the debate around how some of our young people dress, and I wonder whether we are asking ourselves the deeper questions,' she said in a social media post on Sunday.
'When concerns are raised about increasingly revealing fashion trends, the conversation quickly becomes: 'Why does the State want to police our bodies?' But perhaps we should also ask: who is shaping these trends in the first place, and why?'
Umutoni said young people, particularly girls, are increasingly exposed to messages linking appearance and femininity with displaying the body, arguing that such ideas are reinforced through fashion, advertising, music, films, music videos and social media.
She, however, stressed that the debate should not be framed as an indictment of women's bodies or as an argument that women and girls are responsible for managing other people's sexuality.
'This is not an argument that the female body is inherently provocative. It is not. Nor should women and girls be made responsible for managing other people's sexuality by simply being told to cover themselves,' she stressed.
Instead, she questioned why the female body is so frequently commodified by cultural and commercial industries.
Umutoni also linked the discussion to cultural identity, saying Rwanda should consider how it can develop a contemporary fashion identity rooted in its own culture while remaining open to global influences.
She pointed to Nigeria as an example of a country where traditional fabrics, patterns, craftsmanship and aesthetics have been incorporated into contemporary fashion.
'What does contemporary Rwandan fashion look like when it is confident enough to draw from who we are, while remaining creative, youthful and open to the world?' she asked.
According to Umutoni, embracing local cultural influences does not mean prescribing one way of dressing or rejecting foreign influences.
'Culture has always evolved. The question is whether we are participating in that evolution as creators, or simply consuming what others create for us,' she noted.
Her comments come against the backdrop of a broader push by authorities to address what they consider indecent behaviour and misconduct among young people.
In a joint press briefing on August 8, 2026, Rwanda National Police spokesperson ACP Boniface Rutikanga warned that authorities would not tolerate public nudity, indecent dressing, disorderly conduct or sexually explicit content.
Rutikanga said personal freedoms have limits when they conflict with public order and cultural norms.
'We will not continue to tolerate indecent conduct, disorderliness or people exposing themselves… under the excuse that they are young and modern. We do not want that dirt… Rights have limits,' he said.
Police have also warned owners and managers of bars, nightclubs and event venues that they could be held legally responsible for indecent behaviour, underage drinking and reckless conduct occurring on their premises.
Authorities further announced increased monitoring of social media platforms, particularly TikTok, targeting content deemed sexually explicit or indecent.
Police cited Article 143 of Rwanda's Penal Code, which criminalises public indecency and provides for a prison sentence ranging from six months to two years.
For Umutoni, however, the conversation should extend beyond enforcement and focus on whether young people understand the cultural and commercial forces shaping what they perceive as fashionable or desirable.
She urged both young women and men to question the trends presented to them and consider who benefits from them and who defined them as desirable.
'Freedom is not only the ability to choose. It is also the ability to understand what is shaping our choices, and the confidence to create alternatives of our own,' Umutoni remarked.
Rwanda's Minister of State for Youth and Arts, Sandrine Umutoni, urged young people to critically examine the forces influencing their fashion and dress choices, as debate over decency and dress codes continues to grow.
The plans come as RwandAir prepares to add five Airbus A330 aircraft to its fleet, a move expected to provide the capacity needed to support additional frequencies on existing routes and future network expansion.
A RwandAir official told The New Times that the airline's immediate priority is to strengthen its current long-haul services, particularly by increasing flights to Paris and Brussels, while evaluating opportunities to expand into Germany and Asia.
On August 24, RwandAir announced the arrival of an Airbus A330-200, the first of the five aircraft expected to join the fleet. The 226-seat aircraft has already entered commercial service and is primarily supporting the airline's European operations.
'The additional capacity will provide passengers with more travel options while enhancing connectivity through our Kigali hub for travellers flying between Europe and destinations across Africa,' the official told the publication.
The remaining four A330s, which are being acquired through leasing arrangements, are expected to join the fleet progressively over the coming months, although the airline has not announced specific delivery dates.
Each of the aircraft can accommodate between 220 and 270 passengers and is expected to give the carrier greater flexibility in responding to growing demand and expanding its network.
RwandAir said the additional capacity would also improve operational resilience and help maintain service reliability as the airline grows.
The expansion forms part of RwandAir's broader ambition to more than double its annual passenger numbers from just over one million in the 2023/24 financial year to more than 2.1 million by 2028/29. The strategy relies on fleet expansion, new routes and strategic partnerships to strengthen Kigali's position as a gateway linking Africa with key international markets.
The latest A330 addition follows RwandAir's continued investment in its fleet. In August 2025, the carrier added two Boeing 737-800 aircraft, primarily to support short- and medium-haul operations.
With more wide-body aircraft on the way, the airline is positioning itself to grow its long-haul network while offering passengers more travel options through its Kigali hub.
The Airbus A330-200 received this month is the first of five aircraft expected to join the fleet.
Titled Soil & Water: Kigali Crossings, the initiative was launched on Friday, August 28, in partnership with South Africa's NIROX Foundation.
The exhibition officially opened on August 29 and will run until March 2027, bringing together artist residencies, artworks inspired by Nyandungu's natural environment, performances, concerts, community activities and other public events.
Prominent African artists expected to participate include Ghanaian artists Ibrahim Mahama and Serge Clottey, as well as South African artist Willem Boshoff. The exhibition will also feature artists from France, Spain and Austria.
The programme seeks to create a space where artists can explore the relationship between people and nature while encouraging visitors to reflect on the importance of protecting ecosystems.
Professor Johan Thom, co-curator of the project and Professor and Coordinator of Fine Art at the University of Pretoria, said the initiative is about more than showcasing art, seeking instead to connect creativity with deeper reflection on humanity's relationship with nature.
Among the participating artists is Io Makandal, an environmental artist from Johannesburg, South Africa, whose work focuses on environmental restoration through soil, plants and land art.
'One of the main things that I work with is activated effective microorganisms. I use them in the same way that a painter uses paint. I'm a sculptor and a maker, and I incorporate them into my artistic practice,' she said.
Makandal said the microorganisms are gradually released into the environment and can contribute to the restoration of soil and water.
She plans to work with environmental specialists in Rwanda to explore their potential use in Nyandungu Eco-Park's waterways, with the aim of helping improve water quality over time.
Telesphore Ngoga, Conservation Analyst at the Rwanda Nature Foundation, said the programme gives artists an opportunity to draw inspiration from Nyandungu's landscape and ecological systems and translate their experiences into creative works.
'The artists' creativity offers fresh ways to view this landscape and the ecological systems that sustain it. Their installations invite reflection on our relationship with nature, our duty to future generations, and the need to protect the resources that sustain life,' he said.
Ngoga added that the artworks are intended to complement rather than replace the natural environment at the park.
'These works do not seek to replace nature. Rather, they enrich its interpretation. They allow visitors to experience Nyandungu not only through its wetlands, plants, birds, and waterways, but also through the insights and imagination of the artists who have engaged with this place,' he added.
Guy Hedderwick, Managing Director of QA Venue Solutions Rwanda, which manages Nyandungu Eco-Park, said the partnership with the NIROX Foundation was driven by the desire to use art as a tool for communicating the importance of conservation.
'The wonderful thing about art is it's about your own personal interpretation of it, and therefore every person who comes and views it will get a different story out of it,' he remarked.
Hedderwick said a visit to the NIROX Foundation in South Africa helped inspire the idea of creating a similar intersection between art and nature at Nyandungu.
He noted that the exhibition is also expected to encourage more people to visit the park while helping them appreciate the importance of wetlands within Kigali.
Nyandungu Eco-Park was opened in 2022 and has continued to attract growing numbers of visitors.
Attendance increased from 67,222 visitors in 2023 to 76,754 in 2024. In 2025, the number rose significantly, reaching about 100,000 visitors by November, representing an increase of more than 30 percent compared with the previous year.
The ongoing exhibition is expected to add another dimension to the park's visitor experience by combining its wetlands and biodiversity with artistic interpretation and public engagement around conservation.

Byanyima said Besigye was transferred after dark to the Joint Clinical Research Centre (JCRC) hospital along Entebbe Road, about 10 kilometres from Kampala.
She said the 70-year-old opposition leader remained severely weak and continued to struggle with basic movements and communication following his health problems in recent months.
'After dark, Dr Kizza Besigye was moved from Luzira Prison to JCRC hospital today. He is still very weak. He struggles to walk, speak, write or even hold anything steadily,' Byanyima said.
Besigye's health has been a concern since he collapsed during a court session in Kampala on July 29 while attending proceedings in his treason case.
He was subsequently taken by ambulance to the Intensive Care Unit at Mulago National Referral Hospital, where his family said he remained unconscious and unresponsive to pain stimuli for several days before his condition improved.
Besigye spent about 10 days at Mulago before being transferred back to Luzira Prison on August 7. His family later said he remained extremely weak and had difficulty walking and speaking.
On August 24, Byanyima said Besigye had been returned from the prison hospital to his cell, while his sisters, who had been caring for him, were sent away.
A medical assessment conducted after his July collapse found that Besigye remained alert and able to understand information but had difficulty speaking and writing. Doctors recommended continued speech, language, physical, occupational and neurological rehabilitation.
The family has asked Ugandan authorities to allow Besigye to travel to Geneva, Switzerland, for specialised medical care and support from his family. They have also raised concerns about chronic complications affecting his lungs and spine, which they say have been worsened by prison conditions.
Besigye has been in custody since November 2024 after being arrested in Kenya alongside Hajj Obeid Lutale and Capt. Denis Oola. They face treason-related charges stemming from allegations that they travelled to Kenya and held meetings aimed at plotting to overthrow the Ugandan government. The three have denied the allegations.
His trial has continued despite his health challenges, with the court allowing proceedings to proceed in his absence on medical grounds.

Many of the destinations associated with relaxation and leisure are located outside the capital, meaning visitors have to plan their trips, leave early and think about how they will get back home.
For some, the journey itself can become tiring, taking away from the very experience they were seeking.
But a new luxury destination on Mount Kigali is offering a different option: an opportunity to escape the city's bustle without actually leaving Kigali.
Located in the forests of Mount Kigali, Jungle Park is a luxury fine-dining restaurant and recreational space that combines food, entertainment, nature and relaxation.
Its elevated location offers expansive views of Kigali, while the surrounding greenery provides a setting far removed from the city's busy streets.
Jungle Park's elevated location offers expansive views of Kigali.
An escape without leaving Kigali
One of Jungle Park's defining features is its location.
Unlike many restaurants and entertainment venues concentrated in Kigali's busy urban areas, the destination sits high on Mount Kigali, surrounded by trees and nature.
According to Jungle Park's Founder, Laurent Urimubenshi, the location was deliberately chosen to give visitors an opportunity to disconnect from the city.
'By choosing this location, the intention was actually to provide people with an escape from the city,' he said.
While its location might initially appear far from the city centre, Urimubenshi said visitors have been willing to make the journey to experience what Jungle Park offers.
He explained that the name Jungle Park was chosen to reflect the environment in which the destination is located and the experience the business seeks to create.
'Being located in or near the forest adds value to what we want to create and provide. We want to offer our clients and guests a unique, high-quality experience, from our service and food to the location itself,' he remarked.
Jungle Park can accommodate more than 300 guests at a time, making it suitable for both individual visitors and larger gatherings.
But Urimubenshi said the destination is designed to offer more than food.
'It's more of a retreat,' he said. 'For example, on our Sunday brunch and our live barbecue on Saturdays, people don't come here just to eat because it's not about the food. It's about a retreat. It's about going somewhere close to the city where you would have that experience.'
Barbecue is among the highlights of the Jungle Park experience.
Fine dining meets recreation
Food is central to the Jungle Park experience, with barbecue among the offerings that have proved particularly popular with customers.
In response to that demand, the restaurant recently introduced a live barbecue every Saturday from 10 a.m., combining grilled food with live music and other activities.
'People come, they enjoy live barbecue and live music,' Urimubenshi revealed, describing the Saturday programme as a full-day experience.
Jungle Park also hosts a Sunday brunch running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., giving visitors access to a range of recreational activities alongside their meals.
Guests can swim for free, play traditional games and spend time relaxing in the natural surroundings.
'People come here to enjoy free swimming and traditional games. We have all of that here,' Urimubenshi noted.
Guests can also enjoy free swimming at Jungle Park.
He said the combination of brunch, swimming and traditional games is intended to create a relaxed Sunday experience for visitors.
'People come, they enjoy those traditional games while on brunch, swimming, providing that relaxation and staycation on Sundays,' he said.
Hospitality with a conservation focus
Jungle Park's natural surroundings are not simply part of its aesthetic. The business has also incorporated environmental conservation into its operations. According to Urimubenshi, the destination has planted indigenous trees protected under Rwanda's environmental conservation policies.
'When you look around here, the trees we plant are not just any part of the tree. It comes from the policy, from the laws,' he said.
Urimubenshi said the approach allows the business to contribute to environmental conservation while also supporting the country's hospitality sector.
'We really like it when we say we are doing a business, yes, but also we are contributing to the country's effort for conservation,' he added.
Guests can unwind while enjoying Jungle Park's natural surroundings.
A new addition to Kigali's leisure scene
Jungle Park opened in May 2026, and Urimubenshi said it has received an encouraging response from customers while using their feedback to improve its services.
'Within this short period, we've received a warm welcome and a lot of encouragement from our guests. We've also been learning from our shortcomings and improving day after day,' the founder stated.
For visitors, part of the experience begins before they even arrive.
The drive up Mount Kigali takes them away from the city's increasingly busy streets and towards a setting surrounded by trees and panoramic views.
At Jungle Park, the journey becomes part of the getaway itself, offering Kigali residents and visitors a chance to enjoy fine dining, recreation and nature without having to travel outside the capital.
As Urimubenshi puts it, the destination is ultimately about more than a meal.
It is about creating a retreat close enough to the city to remain accessible, yet far enough from its noise to feel like an escape.

Jaffer died at Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya, on the evening of August 28, 2026.
An employee of Sulfo Rwanda who has worked for the company for 18 years told IGIHE that Jaffer had been ill for some time. He initially received treatment at King Faisal Hospital in Rwanda before being transferred to Nairobi.
'He had been ill for some time. He initially received treatment at King Faisal Hospital in Rwanda before being transferred to Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi. He later improved and was discharged from hospital, after which he continued receiving treatment at home under medical supervision,' the employee said.
The employee added that Jaffer returned to Rwanda last year after his condition improved and visited the Sulfo Rwanda factory.
'He came and appeared to be bidding farewell to the factory. He toured it thoroughly before eventually handing it over to his son and grandson,' he said.
Jaffer began investing in Rwanda in 1962. He is recognised as one of the pioneers of the country's soap manufacturing industry, after noticing that many Rwandans at the time relied mainly on water for bathing and washing clothes, while others used traditional methods involving plants and herbs.
He started with a soap brand called Tembo, produced at a factory equipped with a small machine roughly the size of a barrel.
The business later expanded, with Sulfo Rwanda adding other products, including cosmetics and bottled drinking water under the Source du Nil brand.
Sulfo Rwanda currently employs 630 people and exports its products to markets in Rwanda and neighbouring countries, including Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Jaffer also played a role in introducing golf to Rwanda. His other investments included the importation of vehicle tyres, batteries and cooking gas.
He maintained homes in Rwanda, Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Nairobi, where he was living before his death.
A memorial service to celebrate his life is scheduled to take place in Nairobi on August 30, 2026.

Gates made the proposal in a nearly 6,000-word essay titled 'The turbulent AI era is here. The choices we make now are critical,' published on his Gates Notes website.
In the essay, Gates warned that AI could bring major changes to the global workforce, with some jobs potentially disappearing permanently rather than returning after an economic downturn.
He argued that AI is different from many previous technologies because it can increasingly perform tasks that require human thinking and decision-making.
'AI for the first time can replace and even exceed human cognition,' Gates wrote in the essay.
Gates said the transformation could affect a wide range of professions, including customer support, sales, software engineering and paralegal work.
He also pointed to tasks such as analysing data, assessing loan applications and helping to triage patients as areas where AI could increasingly take on work traditionally performed by people.
However, Gates does not believe every job should automatically be handed over to machines simply because AI can perform it.
He proposed creating a category of work called 'Human Reserved,' referring to jobs that society would intentionally keep for people even when AI could potentially perform some or all of the same tasks.
The idea is partly based on the concept of nature reserves, where certain areas are protected because society considers them valuable enough to preserve.
Gates suggested that some human-centred work could be protected because it involves qualities such as empathy, trust and personal interaction.
Healthcare is one area he highlighted. He reflected on his own family's experience, particularly the care his father received while living with Alzheimer's disease, arguing that there is value in having a human being involved in certain forms of care.
The billionaire philanthropist also warned that governments are not sufficiently prepared for the scale of disruption AI could bring.
He said the impact could extend beyond employment into education, public health and national security, requiring governments to develop stronger policies before the technology advances even further.
Gates has also proposed changing taxation systems to account for the economic impact of AI and automation.
He suggested that governments could consider taxing robots and the use of AI services, including the computing resources or 'tokens' used by AI systems.
The goal would be to reduce the incentive for companies to replace workers with machines simply because automation can be cheaper.
At the same time, Gates remains optimistic about the potential benefits of AI.
He has argued that the technology could dramatically improve healthcare, education, agriculture and scientific research if it is developed and deployed responsibly.
His concern is that the benefits could be distributed unevenly, leaving millions of workers vulnerable while concentrating wealth and power among companies and individuals that control advanced AI systems.
Gates described the coming period as potentially one of the most turbulent periods in human history, while arguing that AI could either become a powerful tool for reducing inequality or become a major source of injustice.
He has called for international cooperation to manage the technology, including stronger coordination between major powers.
Gates is also expected to discuss AI policy with Chinese President Xi Jinping during a planned meeting in November 2026.
He has argued that global rules are needed because the risks created by increasingly powerful AI systems cannot be managed effectively by individual countries acting alone.
His latest warning comes as businesses around the world increasingly integrate AI into everyday operations, intensifying the debate over whether the technology will mainly create new opportunities or eliminate large numbers of existing jobs.
Bill Gates has called for some jobs to be reserved for humans as artificial intelligence increasingly transforms the global workforce.
The activity took place in Gahanga Sector and was attended by senior government officials, including Minister of Youth and Arts Development Dr. Abdallah Utumatwishima, Rwanda National Police Inspector General of Police Felix Namuhoranye, and Rwanda Development Board Chief Executive Officer Jean-Guy Afrika.
Masisi, who served as Botswana's president from 2018 to 2024, is in Rwanda to attend the Africa Food Systems Forum (AFS Forum) scheduled to take place in Kigali from August 31 to September 4, 2026.
Speaking during the community work, Masisi praised Rwanda's practice of bringing young people and older generations together to participate in community activities.
He said he was impressed by the way young Rwandans join older generations during Umuganda to clean their communities and contribute to building a united country.
Masisi encouraged young people to set personal goals and work toward improving themselves every day. He also urged them to pursue progress collectively and ensure that their development does not leave others behind.
He said this spirit of shared progress would help Africa strengthen its position globally and achieve greater development.
Masisi also highlighted Africa's historical significance, noting that the continent is widely recognised as the birthplace of humanity and has the potential to play a much greater role in the world.
He further said Rwanda and Botswana have several things in common and should align their efforts around the shared objective of making Africa a more developed continent and a model for the rest of the world.
