On Friday, students from some schools in Rwanda went home without their report cards, despite having completed the academic term.
This issue was caused by technical problems within the CAMIS system, according to the National Examination and School Inspection Authority (NESA).
In a statement issued by NESA, the institution explained that some schools were unable to access students’ report cards due to these system errors. NESA stated that it is working closely with schools to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
The statement read: “This has happened as students begin their holidays, a period when they usually return home with report cards so that parents can assess their children’s academic performance.”
NESA apologized to parents, teachers, and all affected parties, assuring them that every effort is being made to resolve the issue promptly.
CAMIS (Comprehensive School Management Information System) is a digital platform where all school management information in Rwanda is stored. It includes modules for student names, academic performance, grades, discipline, and other reports that help education authorities make informed decisions.
CAMIS is used by schools and government bodies to ensure effective monitoring of education services and improve service delivery. When the system encounters technical problems, it can disrupt normal school operations, such as the timely issuance of report cards, as happened this Friday.
