Abstract: This study examined the challenges facing the effective implementation of the Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) in Geography instruction among Secondary Schools in Rwanda. A structured questionnaire gathered information from 13 teachers. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Based on the findings, the study concluded that numerous challenges affect the implementation of the CBC in Geography. These challenges are related to the schools’ inadequate facilities and resources, teachers’ limited readiness, students’ behaviour and their capacity. The implementation was impeded by a lack of relevant equipment and and teachers’ lack of preparedness. Among the recommendations is that school managers provide the necessary materials for effective implementation of the CBC.
