    <div>Dear All,<br>
      <br>
      Advisory Board member Bernard Nkuyubwatsi has written an <a href="http://education.okfn.org/tertiary-education-in-rwanda-to-go-the-open-way/" target="_blank">exciting

        update for us on open education activities in Rwanda</a>.<br>
      <br>
      The Higher Education Council (HEC), a semi-autonomous institution
      in the Ministry of Education in Rwanda, intends to support the
      development of a national ODeL policy and strategy.<br>
      <br>
      <i>"The open education initiative in Rwanda will require all
        stakeholders to learn new practices, and even learn together.
        However, given the social inclusion and transformation toward
        knowledge-based society Rwanda needs to achieve, such learning
        is worth undertaking. Transformation towards a knowledge-based
        economy cannot be accomplished with more than 90 percent of the
        population excluded from tertiary education. Enormous potential
        talents have already been lost. This is a ripe moment for Rwanda
        to add value to its human capital through open and inclusive
        tertiary education. </i>"<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
