As part of its ongoing commitment to enriching the academic curriculum, NEGA Secondary School recently organized an educational field trip to the historic Nyanza region. The visit included a group of students from the school as well as participants from the Imam Al-Shafi’i Center, aiming to deepen their understanding of Rwanda’s cultural heritage and enhance their practical knowledge of social studies.
The trip began with a guided tour of the National Museum in Nyanza, where the students received detailed insights into Rwanda’s political and social history. They also explored various exhibits showcasing the country’s rich cultural legacy.
A highlight of the visit was a stop at the Traditional King’s Palace, one of the area’s most significant landmarks. The palace, meticulously reconstructed to mirror its original design, offers a vivid glimpse into the royal lifestyle and traditional craftsmanship of Rwanda, particularly during the pre-independence era.
The students actively engaged with the educational content, appreciating the unique blend of academic learning and real-world experience. They emphasized the positive impact of such initiatives in strengthening national identity and bridging theoretical concepts with practical exposure.
This visit is part of the school’s broader efforts to implement an educational excursions program, designed to foster cultural and historical awareness among students and encourage direct interaction with the nation’s heritage sites.
