About Inspire, Educate and Empower Rwanda (IEE)

IEE is a Rwandan local Education Not-For-Profit Non-Governmental Organization (NGO). Since 2005, in collaboration with partners, IEE complements efforts of the Ministry of Education/ Rwanda Basic Education Board, supporting education implementation for quality learning outcomes. IEE designs and delivers innovative programmes to address challenges to provision of quality education. IEE programmes range from: teacher development training and technical assistance, teaching and learning, curriculum and material development, research and evaluation, education policies and systems reform.

Context for vacancy

Inspire Educate and Empower Rwanda, (IEE) partnering with GIZ is implementing the Young Scientist Programme (YSP) in public secondary schools in Rwanda targeting specifically students at the lower secondary school level. The Young Scientist Programme seeks to stimulate students’ interest in Science, Technology Engineering, and Mathematics as a study field by fostering the use of hands-on teaching and learning approaches such as experiments and practical work to vivify students’ creative, innovative, research and problem-solving skills. Ultimately, the project aims to cultivate interest among youths in Rwanda to pursue science fields such as Engineering, Medicine, Biology, Environmental Studies, physics, or statistics at tertiary education levels. This will contribute to narrowing the existing gap in Rwanda’s human capital needs for STEAM professionals required to steer Rwanda’s growth trajectory toward Vision 2050 and beyond

Nurturing a passion for science can have far-reaching implications for a student’s future career prospects and existing evidence suggests that encouraging students to explore the practical applications of science subjects early on fosters a sense of purpose in their learning. Many high-demand lucrative careers, such as engineering, data science, and medicine, rely heavily on a strong foundation in the science field. Moreover, early stimulation of students’ interest in studying science could easily make students pursue careers in scientific fields, contributing to innovation and the progress of society.

The Young Scientist Program is to stimulate curiosity and interest in science subjects among Rwandan students at the lower secondary school level through the provision of multiple opportunities and exposures to practical science activities and experiments in Physics, Biology, and Chemistry. Ultimately, it is hoped that young people will consider this field as an area/opportunity for employment.
