ABSTRACT

This study mainly focuses on the youth of Rwanda, who are regarded as the future leaders. The study will indicate the impact of leadership styles on the development of a country’s economy, especially the effects of leadership in both periods of pre and post genocide of the Tutsi of 1994.
The participants were all purposively selected. Data was collected using interviews and structured questionnaires.
The study generally shows that there is a significant difference in the educational development between pre and post Tutsi genocide of 1994 epoch.
During pre genocide of 1994 period, access to education, and employment of graduates were based on ethnicity, regionalism and discrimination, ultimately created an elite class that hindered development.
Transformational and Visionary leadership styles employed by the Rwandan government in the post Tutsi genocid, have not only culminated into educational development but also the reconstruction of the economic and social fabric of the country.

Key words: Transformational Leadership, Genocide, Education Sector, Refugees, Structure, Youth, Development.
