This blog describes how funding used for a resource room in a school has led to practical changes. The room is used for guidance and counselling, it also helps students who need additional assistance. It is where 14 students with hearing impairments receive daily sign language instruction, and 23 students with intellectual disabilities benefit from tailored teaching adapted to their pace and needs.
For many refugee students, the resource room provides additional language support as they adjust to learning in Kinyarwanda, English and French. Building on these results, the government plans to expand the model by constructing resource rooms in more than 1,500 schools across the country.
