If you are an international student or a Rwandan student who has studied in a foreign country, and you want to study in Rwanda, you will need something called an Equivalency Certificate. This certificate is very important because it proves that your education level from another country is equal to the education system in Rwanda.

At MK SCHOLARS, we understand how confusing and stressful it can be for students and their families to deal with this process, especially if they are not sure where to start. That’s why we are here to help guide you every step of the way so that you can successfully apply and study in schools and universities across Rwanda. 📚 Register now for Coding and English Language classes at MK SCHOLARS. July intake is starting on 10th



WHAT IS AN EQUIVALENCY CERTIFICATE?
An Equivalency Certificate is an official document issued by Rwanda’s Ministry of Education. It confirms that your academic qualifications from a foreign country match the required standards in Rwanda. Whether you studied in Kenya, Uganda, the USA, India, or anywhere else outside Rwanda, this certificate helps Rwandan schools understand your education level and where you fit in the system.

This document is required for all levels of education—from primary and secondary schools to universities and professional institutions. Without it, schools in Rwanda cannot accept your application.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
The Equivalency Certificate is important because every country has its own education system. For example, the subjects studied, the grading system, and the number of school years might be different. The certificate helps Rwandan schools compare your education background with Rwanda’s system and decide which level you qualify for.

Here are some of the main reasons why the equivalency certificate is important:
• It allows you to apply to Rwandan schools and universities.
• It helps schools place you in the right class or level.
• It proves that your education is valid and recognized in Rwanda.
• It’s required for scholarships, job opportunities, and higher education.

WHO NEEDS IT?
You will need an Equivalency Certificate if you are:

• A foreign student who wants to study in Rwanda.
• A Rwandan student who studied outside Rwanda and wants to continue their education at home.
• A student who completed part of their studies abroad and wants to transfer to a Rwandan school or university.
• A job seeker in Rwanda who needs their foreign education recognized.

WHAT DOCUMENTS ARE NEEDED TO APPLY FOR AN EQUIVALENCY CERTIFICATE?
To apply for the certificate, you usually need the following:

• Notarized transcripts and final degree certificate
• A copy of your passport or national ID
• Proof of school attendance (for example, school reports or letters)
• Any other document requested by the authorities

Don’t worry if you’re not sure what documents to prepare; we at MK SCHOLARS can assist you with the full list and make sure nothing is missing.
