Going to trade school, that’s a good honest job, working as a machinist or at a steel plant. It seems like we forgot about that. People get massively indebted going to liberals arts schools and this is how we can deal with our student debt problem too.

Institutions should consider developing approaches favouring companies to offer mentorship to students.

The schools are there to regulate the flow of young competitors into the job market.

School was designed to get you to fall in line and get a job in someone else’s company.

In this highly competitive world, there is a crying need for the government to assure that schools in the country, for one, are able to produce graduates who have the capability to find quality work that mostly requires a sufficient level of technology skills.

When someone comes to visit a school like this, it is to see what they are doing, see what they have and where we can collaborate with them because when you look at the large number of schools we have that teach careers and sciences in Rwanda, they are private.(Iyo umuntu aje gusura ishuri nk’iri ni ukugira ngo turebe ibyo bakora, turebe ubushobozi bafite n’aho twafatanya nabo kuko iyo urebye umubare munini w’amashuri dufite yigisha imyuga n’ubumenyingiro mu Rwanda ni ay’abikorera.)
