Rwanda faces major challenges in strengthening its education system to meet national development objectives, as well as specific education goals of Universal Primary Education and Education for All. The HIV/AIDS epidemic creates an additional challenge to the system. This study is intended to provide information on current and expected HIV/AIDS impacts on the education sector in Rwanda, to inform planning. The study employed a quantitative national survey of schools; discussions in schools with learners, teachers and managers; interviews with other key informants; reviews of documents and other data; and projections of HIV/AIDS impacts. Accuracy of projections was limited by scarcity of data, but the main conclusions drawn from them are likely to be an adequate guide for most planning decisions. A key finding is that recent data suggest that Rwanda's epidemic is not as severe as was previously thought, as estimated adult infection levels are below 8
