Delivering his opening remarks, the Director General of Rwanda TVET Board, Paul Umukunzi said that Rwanda, as a country that has embarked into a journey of economic transformation, needs a qualified and competent workforce able to cope with the current dynamics of the labour market demands.
“To get that competent workforce, there is a need to transform our current education system that was more theoretical than practical by developing the competences of the trainees in every field of study”, Paul Umukunzi added.
In her closing remarks, the Minister of State Claudette Irere said: “I thank schools that have been working day and night to implement TVET programs and strive to improve teaching and learning, please note that you are the ones developing workforces for national transformation and development.”
The “TVET Awards and Conference” was graced by the attendance of Minister of State Claudette Irere, other higher officials and Development Partners in the TVET sector.
TVET has emerged as one of the most effective human resource development strategies that Rwanda has embraced in order to train and modernize the technical workforce for national development. TVET has been an important component within the Rwandese policy to end poverty. (End)
