Educational attainment, school attendance rates (GAR/NAR), and literacy by language drawn from Rwanda's 5th (2022) Population and Housing Census. Source is Education_Thematic_Report.xlsx (582 KB, 103 sheets), a direct static download from the NISR portal. RPHC4 (2012) has no education XLS companion; 2012 national attainment is derived from the cross-census evolution table (Table 3.3) embedded in the RPHC5 file, giving historical attainment back to 1978. Province-level attainment (Tables C.14-C.18) and district-level attendance rates (Tables 5.26 and 5.28) are 2022-only. No province-level education data available for 2012 via automated pipeline.
