The University of Rwanda (UR, (ルワンダ語:Kaminuza y’u Rwanda), (フランス語:Université du Rwanda)) is a higher education institution formed in 2013 through the merger of Rwanda's previously independent public institutions of higher education, the largest of which was the National University of Rwanda.〔 The university's head office is in Kigali. ==History== Initial work to establish the institution was undertaken by Professor Paul Davenport, a member of Paul Kagame's Presidential Advisory Council, who now acts as chair of the university's board of governors.〔 The University of Rwanda was established in September 2013 by a law that repealed the laws establishing the National University of Rwanda and the country's other public higher education institutes, creating the UR in their place.〔 Law number 71/2013 transferred the contracts, activities, assets, liabilities and denominations of seven institutions to the UR: the National University of Rwanda (UNR); the Kigali Institute of Science and Technology (KIST); the Kigali Institute of Education (KIE; Ishuri Rikuru Nderabarezi ry’i Kigali/Institut Supérieur Pédagogique de Kigali); the Higher Institute of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry (Institut Supérieur d’Agriculture et d’Elevage, ISAE/Ishuri Rikuru ry’Ubuhinzi n’Ubworozi); the School of Finance and Banking (SFB, Ishuri Rikuru ritanga inyigisho mu byerekeye Imari n’Amabanki/École des Finances et des Banques); the Higher Institute of Umutara Polytechnic (UP; Ishuri rikuru "Umutara Polytechnic"/Institut Supérieur d’Umutara Polytechnique); and the Kigali Health Institute (KHI; Ishuri Rikuru ry’Ubuzima ry’ i Kigali/Institut Supérieur de Santé de Kigali).〔 At the time of its creation, education officials reported that they "hoped that the university will improve the quality of education and effectively respond to current national and global needs".〔 Eugene Kwibuka of the Rwandan newspaper ''The New Times'' reports that many of the university's senior managers are well-established scholars with records of improving the performance of their previous institutions, but that many of them "are also well known elite Rwandans or dedicated friends of Rwanda and advisors to President Kagame who have recently contributed to the development of the education sector in Rwanda or have recently been involved with designing the newly created University of Rwanda".〔 A key challenge facing the university is argued to be a lack of qualified lecturers. A 2015 article published in the ''Annals of Global Health'', for example, notes that in the School of Public Health, part of the College of Medicine and Health Sciences, a barrier to the university merger's goal of improving the quality of higher education teaching and research in Rwanda is "limited skilled academic staff". The School employs six PhD-level and six Masters-level faculty, as well as five research assistants. Moreover, it delivers a large number of degree programmes and has a "disproportionate student-supervisor ratio" of 15 students per PhD-holding faculty member. The university leadership plans to increase the proportion of academic staff holding doctoral degrees from 20 per cent to 60 per cent by 2024.
