President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame attended the “Scoring the Goals” campaign launch and the High Level Opening of the SDGs Pavilion on Monday. Her Highness Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser, the head of the Education Above All (EAA) project and co-founder and chairperson of the Qatar Foundation, hosted the events.
Speaking at the ceremony, President Kagame spoke in favour of universal education, repeating the reasons why every child should have access to an education that is as affordable as feasible.
“Educating a human being, right from childhood, will enable us to understand the environment we live in. Whether it is to do with climate or other aspects of our environment. We want every Rwandan child, as we would wish for the rest of the world, to have an opportunity to have an education,”
“We have been thinking about sustainability in every investment we make in our country, in our people, and starting with education.” President Kagame said.
