This study is entitled "In-service Education Programmes for Secondary School Teachers and Students’ Academic Performance, A case study of Nyarugenge District, Rwanda ". The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of in-service education programmmes for secondary school teachers on students’ academic performance in secondary schools of Nyarugenge District between 2008 and 2012 school years. This study used the ex post facto research design. This research tried to analyse the causal-comparative relationship between in-service education programmes for secondary school teachers and the students’ academic performance. The target population was made of teachers and head of studies from secondary schools in Nyarugenge District which have concurrently ordinary and advanced levels, whose results were released in the last five years from 2008 to 2012. The number of those schools targeted by this study was 10 secondary schools. The teachers and head of studies were 286. The respondents purposively sampled were 167 teachers and head of studies. Among them, 157 were teachers and 10 head of studies sampled from the target population. The study found out that there was an effect of in-service education programmes for secondary school teachers on the students’ academic performance in the last five years. The in-service education programmes have not been effectively implemented between 2008 and 2012, and were not regular in all secondary schools. The study also found out that the majority of secondary school teachers were qualified; on the other hand it was found out that there is a number of teachers who were unqualified in the subjects they are teaching. The majority of schools did not have well equipped school libraries with updated books and laboratories with modern materials. Consequently, the students’ academic performance in national examinations during the last five years (20082012) decreased in secondary schools in both ordinary and advanced level due to several factors: irregular inservice education programmes, unqualified teachers and lack of school facilities. The study concluded that there is an effect of in-service education programmes of secondary school teachers on the decreased students’ academic performance in Nyarugenge District. The research recommended that the Ministry of Education should design, support and encourage different types of in-service education programmes in secondary schools. The district education office and the school management also were recommended to implement at a regular basis less expensive types of in-service education programmes in their schools. The successful implementation of in-service education programmes should be the benefit to all stakeholders in education and improve the students’ academic performance in national examinations as well as teachers’ performance in secondary schools.
