With the confidence of the adults. With his white coat and his medical ears, the five-year-old child Mitakos welcomes us in his part of the elementary school of Ngoboka in Nyamashiki district of Rwanda and speaks happily of his school, friends and teacher.

"He wants to become a doctor in the future to treat the people of his village, and his teacher teaches him letters, writing, reading and singing. He is very happy to come to school every day," he said.

The ngoboka school has large classrooms, innovative and eco-friendly learning tools, health facilities, a library, walkways and bathrooms for the caretaker, facilitating the interaction of children with their surroundings, participating in practical activities and enhancing their creative and creative abilities through play and learning.

"When children are enrolled in early education classes, they are very enthusiastic and shy, unable to express their needs and feelings, because their parents are missing, so our role is to involve them in the education system through play, music and education," says Metacos. "The children are showing a quick response, and a great deal, after a while." "The subjects taught by preschoolers prepare them to start primary school with a solid foundation, and encouraging children to realize a great dream and planning their future is essential to strengthening the education system in Rwanda," she said. She pointed out that «the school focuses too much on teaching students the basics of hygiene, to avoid infection».

Parents of most of the students at ngoboka are happy to learn that their children are better educated and integrated into the school, and acquire new skills, such as caring for their cleanliness, caring for their surroundings, and interacting with their peers rather than staying in isolation.
In schools like Keza, each student has a profile, where teachers track individual children's interests, based on their habits during play, and this allows teachers to support students' interests to achieve their dreams.

The ngoboka school benefits from the ECC program launched by Dubai Cares and is implemented in partnership with VSO in Nyamashiki district, one of the largest and poorest provinces in the country.
The program aims at preparing 2,520 children, aged between three and six years, for a regular school environment. With an investment value of AED 5 million, the program aims to establish 30 model ECC centers that can be used as models of best practices for early childhood education.
The overall program design aims to improve the school environment by restoring classrooms, promoting water, sanitation and hygiene in schools, engaging parents and community members in the early childhood education system, providing training to early childhood teachers through the local teacher training college, As well as integrating the concept of governance and leadership into the education system. In addition, the program focuses, in particular, on expanding access to disadvantaged children through capacity-building aimed at caring for children with special educational needs and training teachers and leaders to integrate.
