“We are the ones who are going to produce labour force ….and implement the government programs.” declared Eng. Emile ABAYISENGA on 14^th August 2018 during the  official launch of a five-day workshop on a Curriculum review and Validation for Irrigation and drainage Technology at IPRC Musanze.

Addressing his opening remarks to the attendants the Principal of IPRC Musanze Eng. Emile ABAYISENGA said “We are very thankful to SEAD project from funding this activity. We are also thankful to our colleagues from different institutions and higher learning institutions…IPRCs, government officials…we invited them so that we can exchange on how we can produce labour force that is needed to implement these programs. We are also thankful to our own Vice chancellor whom we submitted the idea to and supported it, to invite all these stakeholders and then we are here all to sit down and design this curriculum which will benefit our country.” 

“I thank our team also, for the past three years they have been trying to do things on their way but we produced at least two batches and out there we can have some witnesses who employ them, I think they are here also, though we did not have a well-designed curriculum but our graduated students are still doing good outside. So with this curriculum we are going to improve even will have better labour force…” Principal Emile added.

The head of Irrigation and Water Engineering Department at IPRC Musanze HAKUZIMANA Janvier promised a change and improvement of quality after the new curriculum implementation notwithstanding the challenges related to the consumables.

IPRC Musanze is one of the 8 colleges of Rwanda Polytechnic. It offers different technical programs such as Construction technology, Electrical Technology, Agriculture and food processing, Hospitality management as well as Irrigation and Drainage Technology. http://iprcmusanze.rp.ac.rw/

Teaching should be adaptive to the needs of labour force and on new changes. There is always a need of updating teaching contents and materials.  It is in that perspective that IPRC Musanze organised a workshop about reviewing the curriculum of Irrigation and Drainage technology program in collaboration with SEAD- Rwanda Project.

To run the workshop effectively, different stakeholders from government institutions and private sectors were invited to bring in their inputs and feedback about IPRC Musanze internees of the program so that the curriculum may fit the desired quality of education and competency of students.

Some of the resolutions of the workshop include updating some modules contents, titles and standards to meet the required knowledge and skills on the labour market.
