He added that the current education curriculum includes genocide studies and prevention. " We are conscientious that the Genocide against the Tutsi was possible because of the rotten education that was taught in schools at that time and we are saddened by that" Dr. Mutimura emphasized.  In a bid to financially support the memorial site activities, the Minister handed over an envelope containing the support to Mr. Manzi Theogene, the Vice Mayor in charge of Finance and Economic Development of Gatsibo district.  After the visit, the delegation headed to Kiramuruzi Sector, Gatsibo district, where they visited 13 vulnerable families of survivors of the 1994  Genocide against the Tutsi.  The message of hope was conveyed to the vulnerable old women and men.
