Rwanda to establish model TVET centres in every district

The Rwanda Technical and Vocational Education and Training Board (RTB) has announced plans to construct modern model technical schools in each district, writes Daniel Sabiiti for KT Press.

A total of 30 centres of excellence will be developed, adhering to European and Asian standards. According to Paul Umukunzi, the director general of RTB, construction on some of these schools has already reached 20% completion. At least eight of them are expected to be fully operational by 2026, as funding and master plans have already been secured.

“For instance, work at the Coding Academy in Nyabihu is currently at 20% completion, and the goal is to have the first Centre of Excellence opened by October,” Umukunzi stated. “Another centre, situated in an industrial area, will be funded through a US$7 million grant, with renovation preparations underway. It is expected to open within a year and a half.”
