List Of Available Primary School Headteacher Positions Across All Districts: 2026 Academic Year

The 2026 academic year marks a transformative era for school leadership in Rwanda as the Rwanda Basic Education Board (REB) and the Ministry of Education (MINEDUC) implement a significant restructuring of school management. Following a comprehensive national evaluation of over 5,000 school leaders, approximately 900 positions were vacated to pave the way for a new generation of high-performing pedagogical leaders. This massive recruitment drive is designed to ensure that every primary school in Rwanda is led by individuals who possess both the administrative expertise and the instructional vision necessary to drive the Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) forward.

For the 2026 term, REB has transitioned to a highly transparent, data-driven placement system centered on the Teacher Management Information System (TMIS) and the MIFOTRA E-Recruitment portal. Instead of local district-level hiring, all primary headteacher vacancies are now managed through a centralized pool, ensuring that candidates are deployed based on their performance in national leadership examinations and the specific needs of the 30 districts. Currently, over 500 pre-qualified leaders are being deployed to fill the most critical gaps, with a second phase of recruitment scheduled for early 2026 to ensure 100% leadership coverage by the end of the first quarter.

The available positions listed below represent the leadership gaps identified by the Ministry of Education across public and government-aided primary schools. These roles are not merely administrative; the 2026 mandate requires headteachers to act as "Lead Teachers," focusing on classroom quality, English language proficiency, and the integration of ICT in education. Stakeholders, candidates, and School General Assembly Committees (SGAC) are encouraged to use this official roadmap to track placements and ensure a stable start to the 2nd term.

The TMIS is the primary "source of truth" for the 2026 academic year.

• Action: Log in to tmis.reb.rw using your professional credentials.
• Purpose: View real-time dashboards showing vacancies, transfers, and newly appointed headteachers in your specific sector or district.

2. MIFOTRA E-Recruitment Portal

For those seeking to apply for the remaining "Phase II" vacancies in early 2026:

• Action: Visit recruitment.mifotra.gov.rw.
• Purpose: Search for "Headteacher of Primary School" to see active job postings and specific school requirements.

3. District Education Office (DEO) Notice Boards

While recruitment is centralized, the final deployment lists are sent to the 30 District Headquarters.

• Action: Check the physical or digital notice board of your respective District.
• Purpose: Official confirmation of the individual headteacher assigned to each EP (Ecole Primaire) or GS (Groupe Scolaire).
