Umubano primary school

Developing Human Capacity. Building Resilient Communities.

Text description provided by the architects. The proposal is to build a new classrooms block to host three classes of 30 students, one multipurpose hall to host about people, and the related services kitchen, storage, toilets. Classrooms and hall will follow the topography of the site and connect to the existing school through horizontal pathways. No activities or built structures occupy the site, even though an old foundation still rests on the lower part of the plot and it will be demolished. The new construction remains within the plot boundaries and adheres to all zoning and building regulations of the City of Kigali. The site is in proximity of a wetland, but the plot boundaries are outside the limits of its buffer, approximately at 45m from a small river.

They also read e-books on the tablets and have access to books in English, Kinyarwanda, Kiswahili, and French. All students have the opportunity to use the devices every week to expand their knowledge. Critical thinking We encourage children to develop problem solving skills from an early age so they can apply their minds to any of life's challenges. Independent and Cooperative Learning Students learn how to work together and independently to accomplish tasks, both in and outside of the classroom. Our classrooms are named after Heroes to remind students of this every day. Teachers and students also participate in Peace activities, taught through all subjects. We have a close relationship with Genocide Memorial Centre and are proud to be the first Primary School in Rwanda to attend their educational training programme. Our message of peace is advocated in everything we do and corporal punishment is never used at our school. Head Teacher Robert Ukwiyimpundu. Deputy Head Teacher Agrippine Umugwaneza.

The school, which replaced existing dilapidated facilities was inaugurated by H. E President Paul Kagame in July The architects focused on contextualisation, with a goal of designing a school that fits in its context to inspire and integrate the community. Mass Design Group is not new in Rwanda. A few years ago they were a hit in major news publications for their design of the Butaro Hospital in the rocky hills of Burera District. The design of Umubano Primary Schooltakes a lot from the hilly landscape in which it is located; gracefully falling and rising with the contours. In the hilly landscape of Kabeza, people travel across terraced agricultural land to complete their errands. The school mirrors this kind of living, with outdoor classrooms giving the children a school so ingrained in their daily lives. One of the intentions by MASS was to hand over a school that the community would totally relate to and they do this with their unique settings for learning.
