Today, the Minister of State for Education, @ClaudetteIrere, presided over the official launch of the Advanced Diploma programmes in Airline and Airport Management and Logistics and Supply Chain Management at @Kigali_College.
As Rwanda positions itself as a regional hub for air transport, logistics, and tourism-and invests in major projects like Bugesera International Airport-the demand for skilled professionals is soaring.
Developed in partnership with the @WorldBank through the Priority Skills for Growth and Youth Empowerment Project, the programmes are a timely response to equip learners with the practical, job-ready skills needed to thrive in Rwanda’s expanding aviation and logistics sectors.
A key highlight of the event was the unveiling of a first-of-its-kind Airport Simulator Workshop and Smart Classroom. With enrolment expected to grow, the programmes are set to train hundreds of students and upskill professionals annually.
The launch brought together government officials, development partners, industry representatives, and students, who toured the facilities and observed live training demonstrations.

@RwandaPolytec leadership recently came together to reflect and strategize on advancing gender equality and social inclusion across all RP Colleges.
Discussions focused on how to better integrate practical and sustainable #gender responsive approaches across institutional policies, programs, leadership, and campus life.

The leadership reaffirmed their commitment to fostering a safe, inclusive and supportive learning environment where students and staff can participate, thrive, and reach their full potential.

This was organized under AFTER 2 Project supported by @AFD_en through @expertisefrance, @LuxDev_HQ

Under the Higher Education Pedagogy for Teacher Education (HEP-TED) Project, senior leaders from @RwandaPolytec held an engaging discussion with academic leaders and experts in quality management and pedagogical leadership from Tampere University and Tampere University of Applied Sciences.
The exchange focused on the importance of pedagogical leadership and how it can strengthen students’ learning experiences and improve academic performance.
The HEP-TED project continues to foster mutually beneficial collaboration between Rwandan and Finnish universities, promoting knowledge sharing and cross-institutional learning in key areas such as pedagogy, quality assurance, and higher education management.
