Abstract

In Rwanda, secondary schools play a pivotal role in education and are subject to various interventions aimed at improving their performance. The study employs the DiD model, a quasi-experimental design, to assess the impact of educational reforms on secondary schools in Rwanda. The analysis will compare treated and control groups before and after the intervention period. Secondary schools showed a significant increase in adopting new teaching methodologies post-reform, with a proportion of 75% among treated schools compared to 40% in controls (p < 0.05). The DiD model effectively measured the adoption rates of educational reforms in secondary schools, highlighting their impact on teaching practices. Future studies should consider longitudinal data for a more comprehensive evaluation and explore additional factors influencing reform implementation.
