The table above shows the distance traveled by children to reach school, sorted by
districts. The general trend for the performance of the districts with regard to this
indicator is almost the same where the biggest percentages recorded are those of
children who travel less than 2km. In this category, Rubavu district has the highest
percentage of 91.0% while Kamonyi and Nyanza have 87.1% and 87.0% respectively.
It is important to note that those who traveled less than 2km have the lowest
percentages in Kayonza, Rwamagana and Bugesera districts where the respondents
said that children traveled less than 2km at a proportion of 50.5%, 51.0% and 58.3%.
This indicates that the accessibility of children to school is guaranted at the national
level because 2km is equivalent of 24 minutes if we consider 5km / hour the speed
of a man.
