The Rwanda Education Board (REB) has published a School
Leaders Placement Roadmap showing the key dates for the next
stages of the school leadership placement process in 2026.
The roadmap is designed to help candidates who participated in the process
understand what to expect and when important announcements will be made.
According to the roadmap, the process has four major stages, beginning with
the publication of English proficiency results and ending with the placement of
school leaders.
1. Publication of English Proficiency Results 27 October 2026
The first important date on the roadmap is 27 October 2026,
when the English Proficiency Results
are scheduled to be published.
Candidates who participated in the English proficiency assessment should
check the official communication channels used by REB for the publication of
the results.
This stage is important because the results form part of the progression
toward the next step of the school leadership selection process.
2. Oral Interviews for School Leaders 10th to 13th November 2026
The second stage is the Oral Interview for School Leaders,
scheduled to take place from 10th to 13th November 2026.
Candidates who proceed to this stage should prepare carefully for the
interview. It is advisable to review areas related to school leadership,
education management, communication, professional responsibilities, and the
effective management of a school environment.
Candidates should also pay attention to any instructions provided by the
relevant authorities regarding interview schedules, venues, required documents,
and other requirements.
3. Publication of Oral Interview Results 18 November 2026
Following the interviews, the roadmap indicates that the oral
interview results will be published on 18 November 2026.
This announcement will allow candidates to know the outcome of the interview
stage and whether they have progressed toward the final placement stage.
Candidates are encouraged to regularly follow official REB communications so
they do not miss important updates.
4. Placement of School Leaders – 8 December 2026
The final stage shown on the roadmap is the placement of school
leaders, scheduled for 8 December 2026.
This is the stage at which successful candidates will be placed into school
leadership positions according to the applicable placement process.
For candidates who have progressed through the earlier stages, this date
represents an important milestone in their journey toward school leadership.
