At what cost? The untoward costs of children's education in Rwanda

Summary: Despite a fee-free policy that would suggest otherwise, children in Rwanda contend with a range of school-related costs that impact upon attendance, performance, and completion. School-related costs continued to operate, often overtly and sometimes clandestinely, within the lives of children. Financial and materials inputs functioned as key and mediating determinant in the educational lives, experiences, and trajectories of young people, a finding that would seem to disproportionately impact the most economically vulnerable.
