Rwanda's NESA to Release 2025/2026 Secondary School National Exam Results on September 11

KIGALI The National Examination and School Inspection Authority (NESA), operating under Rwanda's Ministry of Education (MINEDUC), announced on September 10, 2026, that results for the national examinations concluding secondary school for the 2025/2026 academic year will be released the following day, September 11, at 2:00 PM.

The announcement, issued as an official public notice, was addressed to students, teachers, school administrators, parents, and other education stakeholders across the country. Key points from the notice include:

• Issuing body: National Examination and School Inspection Authority (NESA)
• Notice date: September 10, 2026
• Results release date: September 11, 2026
• Release time: 2:00 PM
• Live broadcast: YouTube channels of MINEDUC and NESA
• Results portal for repeat candidates: rne.sdms.gov.rw

The results announcement event will be broadcast live on the YouTube channels of both MINEDUC and NESA, allowing the public to follow the release as it happens rather than wait for results to filter through schools and local media.

NESA also used the notice to address a specific category of students: those who sat for repeat examinations to complete their secondary education. Candidates in this group can access their results by following these steps:

1. Visit the School Data Management System at rne.sdms.gov.rw.
2. Log in or search using the required student credentials/details.
3. Check results starting September 11, 2026, once the system is updated.

The release comes at the end of an academic year that saw thousands of students across Rwanda sit for national examinations, marking the completion of their secondary schooling. Results day is typically a significant moment for families nationwide, shaping decisions around university admission, technical and vocational training pathways, and, for some students, repeat examinations.

NESA is the government body tasked with administering national examinations and inspecting schools throughout Rwanda, and it works closely with MINEDUC to uphold standards across the country's education system. The authority can be reached through the following channels:

• Toll-free line: 9070
• Email: info@nesa.gov.rw
• Website: www.nesa.gov.rw
• Social media: @NESA_Rwanda (X, Instagram, Facebook)
