Umushyikirano from its first edition has evolved into the National Dialogue Council. The first National Dialogue Council took place on Saturday, 28 June 2003 and has been held ever since. The 2019 edition of the National Dialogue Council better known by the Kinyarwanda word Umushyikirano took place on Thursday 19th – Friday 20th December 2019. On improving the quality of education, the Prime Minister stated that circa 1,853,029 textbooks were printed and distributed to schools. And the 2019 edition was an eye-opener for a first-timer of what is possible with regards to the national dialogue which other African countries can study and fit into their national idiosyncrasies.
