1. Background
Rwanda’s Vision 2020 aims at a knowledge-based and technology-led economy and
puts high priority in human resources development in the field of science and technology.
The industrial sector, however, faces the serious shortage of the practical technicians
with the influence of civil war and genocide occurred in 1994. Also in the educational
sector, it is urgently necessary to increase the opportunity of the secondary and upper
level of education as it has been focused on expanding the basic education. Rwanda’s
Educational Sector Strategic Plan for 2006-2010 (ESSP2006-2010), which was
formulated April 2006, emphasizes science technology education as well as nine-year
basic education and aims to develop the human resources for the science technology
sector in each level of education, namely basic education (primary and secondary),
Technical and Vocational Education and Training (hereafter TVET), and higher
education of engineering.
Accordingly the government of Rwanda decided to establish a College of Technology
that has a course for producing higher technicians and set up Tumba College of
Technology (TCT) for that purpose. However there are a lot of issues to be solved in
establishing the college such as school planning as a whole, curriculum development,
training of teachers and staff, establishing a sustainable school management, and
supporting system for employees.
In order to solve these issues, the government of Rwanda submitted a request to
Japan for the Project for Strengthening the Capacity of Tumba College of Technology.
In response to the request, the preparatory study team was dispatched from JICA in
March 2007 to discuss the plan of cooperation with the government of Rwanda and
relevant institutions. As a result, it is decided that “the Project for Strengthening the
Capacity of Tumba College of Technology” shall be implemented for 5 years from July
2007, and the Record of Discussions (R/D) was exchanged between the minister of
MINEDUC and Resident Representative of JICA Rwanda Office on 31 May 2007.
The Project is composed of two stages (1 year and 4 years) in total for five years. The
first stage is a pilot stage for one year that aims to establish basic foundation of the
school and formulate the detailed cooperation plan for the 2nd stage. At the first stage, a
Japanese long-term expert as a project coordinator and short-term experts for school
management and three courses, such as information technology, electronics and
telecommunication, and alternative energy, were dispatched by JICA. By the
cooperation of these Japanese experts and Rwandan counterpart personnel, TCT was
successfully established August 2007 in Rulindo District as the first A1 college (high
technician level) in Rwanda. In February 2008, JICA sent a mission for evaluating pilot

1
phase and planning of the 2nd stage to TCT. The mission confirmed the achievement of
the basic foundation of the school management. MINEDUC and JICA mission team
both have finalized, therefore, that the project could proceed to the 2nd stage as planned.
The Project Report No.1 was submitted December 2008 covering the activities from
September to December 2008. This Progress Report No.2 describes the activities of the
project from January to April 2009.

Development” was changed into “Web the contents.
Application Advanced”. Also specification of PHP version was
deleted.

As a result, the curricula before and after the modification are as per the
attachment-8. The outline of the curriculum was modified as above. But the detail of the
contents should be finalized by the teachers themselves by the next semester.

5.1.2 New teaching materials

According to the modification of the curriculum, the necessary teaching materials
were prepared as follows.

Table-6 New teaching materials

No. Teaching materials Reason
1 IP PBX: Asterisk Referred to the opinions of TAG members, the contents of
(asterisk-0.01.doc) VoIP, IP PBX were added in “Linux Server”.
(65 pages) The teaching materials developed by JICA project in
Myanmar will be used.
The Japanese expert did not have time for technology
transfer to the teachers but Mr. Saran will do.
2 OpenLDAP The user administration of the students and staff on the

7
 (177 pages) server is not carried out at this moment, but it will be
controlled by a central administration system with
OpenLDAP. Then it can be possible to control the user
administration, mail user administration, user of course
administration system (Moodle) as a single package. This
system is already used in JICA project in Myanmar.
The Japanese expert did not have time for technology
transfer to the teachers but Mr. Saran will do.
3 Linux Administration It was used in the technical transfer for Linux.
(162 pages) The teaching materials were re-used from the ones of
JICA project in Myanmar.
4 Linux Server The rule of internet access for the students and the
(150 pages) teachers was changed with the proxy server at Tumba
● ACL (The students’ access tome was limited.)
● Delay Pool (The students’ access speed was
limited.)
● Dans Guardian (The students accessible
web-sites were limited.)
● ClamAV (Virus download was blocked.)
The Japanese expert did not have time for technology
transfer of the settings to the teachers but Mr. Saran will
do.
5 Linux Management and The Japanese experts explained the network monitoring
Security tool, Cacti, Nagios, Ntop to the teachers and the
(149 pages) administrator.
6 Misc (VMware, VPN, FreeNAS, It is used in the technical transfer of installing VMware
PXE Boot, Server.
openSUSE-Education, etc) FreeNAS (NAS server) was introduced to TCT. The
(228 pages) Japanese expert did not have time for technology transfer
to the teachers but Mr. Saran will do.
It is used in the technical transfer of PXE Boot.
The library administration system included in
openSUSE-Education was explained to Mr. Saran so that
he can instruct it for TCT library.
7 New Technology Trend The textbook “New Technology Trend”, which was made
(36 pages) in JICA project in Myanmar, will be used in TCT, since
the teaching materials prepared by the teachers are
insufficient.

The Japanese expert did not have enough time for technology transfer to the teachers
during his stay in Rwanda. Mr. Saran will continue the technical transfer with above
materials under the supervision of the Japanese expert.

5.2 ET Department
Through the observation by the experts, the following issues are found regarding the
curriculum and syllabus.

8
Table-7 Issues on ET curriculum
Time table The time tables of 2nd and 4th semester show no indication of lecture, practical
lesson, or tutorial.
Practical Practical lessons are not conducted as required. TCT is supposed to have the
lessons practical lesson by 60% of the curriculum However the department are
conducting the practical lesson only in PC Maintenance, Introduction to
Telephony, CCNA1, and circuit related subjects.
Teaching The theories which is far difficult than the practical system are taught in the
Contents classroom. For example, in the lecture of Introduction of Control System the
teacher explains very complicated numeral formula but did not explain the
relation to the actual system or did not show any examples how to increase the
stability of the system and so on.
Experiment The experiment manuals are not used effectively. Most of the teachers do not
manual understand the contents. Therefore they are not able to prepare the experiment
properly. Also some manuals are not suitable with the equipment in TCT.

Having examined the subject constitution of ET curriculum and the level and
students and teachers, a new subject “Basic Experiment” was introduced by the experts
with the outline of the contents. The attachment-9 shows the outline.

The experts examined the time tables and advised the department to conduct more
practical lessons with effective utilization of the equipment ever prepared.

No changes had been made to the contents of the syllabus during the period of
January to April 2009. However it was pointed out that it should be utilized through the
consideration of the balances among the topics as well as the range and deepness of the
contents to be taught.

The experts arranged to have the latest versions of the experimental manual being
used EEPIS so that TCT can utilize them in the practical lessons.

5.3 AE Department
The facts and the observation through the activities of the Japanese and Nepalese
experts for AE department are as follows.

(1) Current situation of the students

The 45 students of 2007 intake (the 1st batch) are in their 4th semester where they
study the construction work for AE technology and carry out their own projects. In
conducting the projects, the students shows more aggressive attitude than ever such as
collecting AE information valuable even to the experts and asking for expert’s opinions
toward briquette casting equipment, which was made by the students themselves. The

9
second batch of 53 students is in the 2nd semester in which they start learning mainly
basic AE technologies.
All of the 1st batch students are ETO (technical high school) graduates who have
studied the basic of electric and mechanics. On the other hand, the 2nd batch students
consist of 47 graduates from ordinal high school and 6 ETO graduates. It means that
the 2nd batch students are good at mathematics and English while most of them did not
studied electric, mechanics and drawings which are necessary as for the foundation of
AE technologies. This lack of basic knowledge brings difficulties in acquiring the skills
of Solar PV and Micro-hydro technology.

(2) Study environment and motivation

TCT does not have enough educational environments since it is still preparing
necessary equipment, materials, and technical books. Some students complain about
such environment, but some students make efforts to up-level their skills with their
own ideas and motivations even in the limited facilities. They show their motivations
through participating in the survey for micro-hydro demonstration, the construction of
biogas dome for training teachers, and manufacturing the Nepalese style improved
cooking stove.

(3) Poor teaching materials for the teacher

The teachers are preparing their teaching materials mostly based on the books in
KIST and TCT library and sometimes the handouts of their training in Nepal.
Preparing the teaching materials would make the teachers’ burden too heavy. They
cannot have enough time to examine the contents of their classes.

(4) Teaching method and contents

The teachers are reading their memorandum and copy down some necessary parts in
their class. Therefore the students are not in a position to learn the necessary
technologies through the textbook. Since the teachers provide the lectures within their
limited range of knowledge and information, the students cannot indentify the
importance among the topics. The lectures are sentence-oriented. The teachers are not
work out with drawings or pictures to make students understand well.

(5) Specialization of AE technology and social needs

In order to produce the technicians with professional expertise, the idea of separating
the class in terms of the energy-related contents into two courses – namely electric

10
(micro-hydro and solar-PV) and thermal (biogas, biomass, improved cooking stove, and
solar heater) was examined for deeper understanding. However this idea was not taken
due to the fact that the prospect of employment opportunity cannot be prioritized in
every AE field since most of the AE projects are still lead by donors’ initiatives.

The activities and outcomes by the experts are as follows.

(1) Review and modification of the curriculum and syllabus

Having examined the students’ background and the social needs of human resources,
the modification had been made in November 2008 that the two subjects “Measurement
and Instrument” and “Introduction of engineering material” were deleted and necessary
topics on those two subjects should be taught in other related subjects. Also “Technical
drawing I” and Technical drawing II” had been newly added as for the important basic
skill.
There are many students who cannot understand the drawings and circuit diagram,
which are the basic elements in the technical education. The teacher’s guide for the
drawing was given from the expert to the teacher in charge. Then the drawing lesson
was started from January 2009 as one of the subject in AE. It is necessary for the
teachers to have training of how to write and read the technical drawings. The expert
will train the teachers in the future.

(2) Special lecture in the class by Nepalese expert

The series of special lecture were conducted for 3 hours each on sub-sectors by
Nepalese experts. The lectures were evaluated by the students with their finding sheets.
The evaluation results indicate that the students are satisfied with the lectures and
expected to have more series. Also it is effective for the experts to capture the students’
technical level through the lecture. Therefore the special lecture will continue. The 2nd
batch was rather aggressive. They attended more than the 1st batch and asked more
questions. Many students were late for the lectures. Once the lecturer has refused
latecomers of more than 15 minutes, the number of latecomers decreased.

(3) Formulation of the course manuals

The Japanese AE expert visited Nepal in April 2009 and reached the agreement with
Nepalese side that formulation of the course manual would start from May 2009. The
manuals will be written by the group mainly consisting of the Nepalese experts who
have dispatched to Rwanda for the project. The manuals for the 1st and 3rd semester

11
will be completed by August, and the ones for 2nd and 4th will be done in December
2009.

5.4 Equipment and facilities

The necessary components of the equipment were procured from January to April
2009 for each department according the plan that has been formulated in December
2008. The total cost for the equipment procured in this period is RWF177,549,315. The
components of the equipment and the cost amounts for each department are as follows.
The equipment lists for IT, ET and AE departments are as per attachment-10, 11 and 12
respectively.

Total RWF 19,982,525

All of the above equipments were procured in Rwanda. The equipments that are not
available in Rwanda were supposed to be procured in Kenya with the budget of
JPY2008. However the procurement procedure has been delayed into JPY2009 since it
took longer time to select the reference models and specifications fit to the purpose of
use in TCT.

12
 For the AE department, the construction of open shed has been decided in TCT for
manufacturing and experiment of the improved cooking stoves by using clay and
generating smoke. Due to the delay in starting the work, in procuring the construction
materials, and in arranging the workers, the construction was behind the schedule in 3
weeks. Since it was not completed during the experts’ stay in Rwanda, the work for
improved cooking stove was done in the existing kitchen facility of TCT.
The arrangement by TCT should be improved based on this lesson learned, such like
that the work shall be supervised under the task list, and a procurement officer shall
attend the arrangement meeting accordingly etc.

6. Activities on output-3
The output-3 of the project is “Technical, Pedagogical and managerial skills of TCT
staff (teaching staff and administrative staff) are improved”. This chapter describes the
activities relating to the output-3.

6.1 IT Department
The following observations are found through the activity of the Japanese expert in
charge of IT department.

(1) Teachers’ working attitude

In fact most of the teachers are not at their work station except the time of their
classes and are doing other activities in Kigali apart from the tasks for TCT. Therefore
only a few teachers are working in the staff room. The reason is that they can earn
significant amount by working as an IT consultant, in which they just install anti-virus
software or MS Office. Staying in Tumba does not attract the teachers. Also they do not
want to participate in the training unless they receive incentives. When the Japanese
expert conducted his training in Kigali, more teachers attended since they received
daily allowance from TCT.

(2) Stability of the workforce

At this moment following 5 teachers out of 9 are not reliable as IT teachers in TCT.
Jean: started working in RURA
Sada: preparing to study in USA
Muganga: never appeared during the expert’s stay

 Marc: attended a few times during the expert’s stay
TCT is planning to open its Kigali satellite campus where a new IT course will be
conducted. However IT department has no human resources who have responsibility to
be in charge of the course. Strengthening the human resource is urgently necessary.

(3) Teaching method

In the classroom, a teacher just copy down his memo on the blackboard and the
students are writing down it. Sometimes teacher asks a question and points out one
student, then the student goes to the blackboard and write an answer. The teacher asks
other students whether the answer is correct or not. Every class is conducted in the
same cycle.

During the expert’s stay following activities are conducted in IT department.

(1) Presentation by the participant to the training in Japan

In IT Department, the presentation of the training participants has never done before.
The participant to the training in Japan made his presentation in IT department
including the principal and administration staff on 24 April 2009.

(2) Technology transfer

The trainings to IT teaching staff were delivered by the Japanese expert in the field of
computer network for one month in April 2009. The contents of the expert’s technology
transfer were supposed to be as follows.
¾ IP PBX (Asterisk)
¾ Moodle
¾ OpenVPN
¾ OenLDAP
However since the above contents are difficult for the teachers, they requested the
expert to transfer a lower level technology. Then it was decided to have training with
the contents equivalent to Linux LPIC level-1, which is rather rudimentary. “Linux
Administration” was used for the teaching materials.

In the technical transfer, the teaching material administration, the attendance

administration, the examination, and the questionnaire were conducted with the course
administration system (Moodle) operating on the TCT server. The operation method
was taught at the same time for the practical utilization by the teachers in their classes

14
after the training.

Table-11 Result of technical transfer

Name Attendance Task Total Result
Oscar 100 95 98 Pass
Herbert 95 98 97 Pass
Emile 86 93 90 Pass
Muhamad 100 79 90 Pass
Philip 91 85 88 Pass
Jean 59 86 72 Fail
Marc 64 57 60 Fail
Fabrice 32 69 50 Fail
Tony 59 40 50 Fail
Sada 36 14 25 Fail
Gilbert 36 11 24 Fail
Muganga 0 0 0 Fail

The questionnaire was done after the technical transfer by the expert by using TCT’s
course administration system. The contents are based on the following two formats
which are used in many other educational institutes.
¾ COLLES (Constructive On-Line Learning Environment Survey)
¾ ATTLS (Attitudes to Thinking and Learning Survey)
The expert instructed the teachers how to operate the questionnaire with the course
administration system so that they can conduct other kinds of questionnaire to the
students. The output of the system is as follows.

15
Figure-1 Result of Questionnaire after the technical transfer
26 questions in the 6
categories as follows
z Relevance
z Reflective
Thinking
z Interactivity
z Tutor Support
z Peer Support
z Interpretation

20 questions in the 2
categories as follows
z Connected
Thinking
z Separate
Learning

According to the COLLAS result, it is found that the highest data is “Relevance” and
the lowest is “Peer Support”. It means that they feel the relevancy of the training but
their learning with each other’s support is not enough. The supporting system among
the colleagues may be needed.

6.2 ET Department
(1) Interview and class observations
Three teachers have left TCT and 4 new teachers were recruited. Then the total
number of the teacher is 9. The two Japanese experts have interview and observed the
classes of some teachers, then pointed out some remarks as follows.

16
Table-12 Observations Remarks on ET teachers
Teacher’s Name Observation Remarks
Aimable Not cooperative to the expert’s activity. Theory and numeral formula
oriented in the explanation of logic circuit. Less ability in observation of
physical phenomena. Self-confident.
Sylvere Does not understand the relation between the theory and practical control
system. Need to conduct classes with analysis, numeral formula
expansion, application to the theory, and limitation of the theories without
relying on numeral formula.
Jean Pierre Has a pending issue on stability of the electric current in antenna
experiment. It is found that the swinging is inevitable due to minimal
current and will be no problem in decibel display. He requested another
analyzer but was convinced to conduct with existing equipment.
Emmanuel Was convinced to understand that the communication technology be
evaluated in the occupied bandwidth no matter it is digital or analogue.
Mpanzie Was convinced to understand that no matter it is digital or analogue the
communication system has not only an arterial system but also subscriber
system, which consists of three technologies such as exchange,
transmission, and wireless.
Amini Not cooperative to the expert’s activity. Selfish in behavior. Sometimes
explains wrong things but never show remorse. Less conscience as
engineer.

(2) Formulation of the teacher training plan with EEPIS

EEPIS has a successful story with the support of JICA’s technical cooperation. The
project has been coordinating to utilize the resources of EEPIS into TCT. The 2009
schedule of receiving EEPIS instructors to TCT as experts and dispatching TCT
teachers to EEPIS for their training was formulated as per attachment-13.
Three experts will be dispatched for 5 to 6 weeks from May 2009 for the Special
Practical Session for the 1st batch students. Four teaching staff will visit EEPIS for 4
week training. Two teachers and on technician will have the same course “Basic
Experiment” and develop the teaching materials completely so that they will be able to
conduct the same subject in TCT. The other one will have a training of optical
communication and collect information of the necessary experimental equipment for
that subject.

6.3 AE Department
The current situations observed by the experts in terms of the human resource on AE
department are as follows.

(1) Recruitment of teachers and technicians

In order to fill the vacancy of teaching staff to be allocated for the 2nd and 4th
semester, 4 teachers and 2 technicians were recruited so that the total number of AE

17
teaching staff became 15. The teachers profile is as per attachment-14.

(2) No trainings for new teachers

The teachers who were newly recruited in January 2009 were forced to be allocated to
some subjects just after the next week of their employment without having any training
for AE technology and pedagogy. The teachers are busy for preparation and conducting
of the classes. The teaching level is low.

(3) Necessity of have AE model plant

Although the project has been conducting the training in Nepal, dispatching Nepalese
experts, AE site observations, the level of teachers is still not enough. It is useful to
have model AE plants in the campus so that land-survey, measurement, designs,
installation can be practically operated by them selves.

The following activities are conducted by the Japanese and Nepalese experts.

(1) Identifying the taskforce members on each field

The field of Nepalese experts varies in biogas, micro-hydro, solar energy, improve
cooking stove, biomass, sociology, and electric. It is impossible for all teachers to be
trained in every field. Therefore the taskforce members were identified on each field,
consisting of 4 to 6 teachers for every field.

(2) Technical transfer

1) Biogas
Under the collaboration of MININFRA, the trainers’ training for biogas theory and
practical work was implemented at TCT in January 2009. The trainees were from other
organizations and were supposed conduct trainings to their local area after this training.
5 teachers out of biogas taskforce team participated in the training. Some teachers
became confident of the skills through the practical training, but some who are not
interested in the technology captured less. Due to the delay of preparation of necessary
materials, the construction did not complete during the expert’s stay in Rwanda. The
remaining parts will be followed in the intensive practical course scheduled in May.

2) Micro-hydro
Under the concept that the teachers learn the survey, designing, installation and
supervising through the practical experience, the basic design of a micro-hydro plant

18
and a miniature micro-hydro facility were implemented. The work was carried out with
direct instruction to the taskforce members on land-survey, plant calculation, designing,
drawings, cost estimation, and trial manufacture of an expansion joint in Rwanda. This
practical training resulted insufficient for the teachers due to the difficulty of
micro-hydro designing, no experience of cost estimation, and so on. The construction of
micro-hydro model plant was suspended at the stage of basic design because the
estimated cost was three times higher than the expected budget. The reason of
increasing the cost might be caused of high customs duties (30%), VAT (18%), expensive
materials such as cement, and also insufficient price assessment. On the other hand,
the basic design of the miniature micro-hydro facility was completed. It will be
manufactured in Nepal and transferred to Rwanda around August 2009. The student
will be able to understand the micro-hydro system visually.

3) Sociology / organization and regulation on improved cooking stove

The importance of social consideration in implementing AE projects is not recognized
in Rwanda yet. The social development by a participating type is not understood. The
instructions of base-line survey method such as questionnaire and interview are not
implementing in the college. The experts visited with the taskforce members to the
project sites supported by INGO and observed the biomass project. Then the experts
explained the importance of social consideration through the activities outside the
college. Since most of the instructions are made top-down it is difficult for Rwandan
teachers to understand the importance of bottom-up approach and gender consideration.
Therefore the continuous instructions with site observation will be necessary in the
future. Also the experts need to keep training the teachers and students in making
questionnaire, survey implementation and analysis.

4) Improved cooking stove

The expert and the taskforce members made the survey of Rwandan’s living
environment and cooking situations so that they could understand the needs of
improved cooking stove and examine the model fit to Rwandans’ living style. Then they
made a Nepalese style improved cooking stove and compare it with Rwandan model by
performance test. Through these works, the taskforce members understood how to
make an improved cooking stove and also how to conduct the combustion test. It will
help them in the classroom. The taskforce members are supposed to manufacture an
improved cooking stove by themselves and implement the combustion test with it.

7. Activities on output-4
The output-4 of the project is “The management capacity including employment
promotion and income generation activities of TCT is enhanced”. This chapter describes
the activities relating to the output-4.

7.1 Activities for strengthening the industry relations

(1) Job-opening information
The job-opening information, which has been collected through the “Needs Survey”
conducted by the local consultant company under the subcontract of the project, were
open to all the students. The opening sheets are put in the TCT library so that every
student can see and obtain the information of their interesting companies.

(2) Preparation of industrial attachment

The industrial attachment is scheduled to be conducted from July 2009. The newly
employed officer in charge of the industrial relations has been preparing the industrial
attachment. However the capacity of human resources for this activity is insufficient.
The project is planning to support this activity by subcontracting a local consultant.

7.2 IT department
(1) Preparation of IT Course for outsiders
IT department has a plan to conduct IT course for outsiders at Kigali Satellite
Campus (KSC) located in the compound of CITT at Remera area. The building is
currently under rehabilitation. It will have the facilities of a computer network
classroom, a hardware classroom, a server room, and staff rooms. The layout of the KSC
is as per attachment-15.

The plan of the courses and the time table to be conducted is as per the table 13 to 15
below.

(2) TAG meeting

As mentioned in 5.1.1, the IT TAG meeting was held at Kigali Serena Hotel on 22
April 2009 inviting the key persons from NUR, KIST, and IT companies. Total 16
persons have attended from outside the college. The purpose of TAG is not only to make
the curriculum fit to the industrial needs but also to strengthen the relation between
academia and industry. The seminars by the expert and Mr. Saran (third country IT
consultant) were also provided to the participants in the TAG.

Also TCT requested the IT companies to receive the students for the industry
attachment.

7.3 Activities in ET department

(1) Site Visits
The ET department is conducting site observations as one of the activities of the

21
classes. The students visit Rwanda TV and Deutsche Welle, and see the actual working
situations of broadcasting system. In other activities, the networking is not very strong.

(2) Engineering Workshop

Engineering Workshop sponsored by JICA Rwanda Office was held from 14 to 16
March 2009 at TCT inviting total 61 students and teachers from NUR, KIST, KCT,
ETOs and TCT. 8 students participated from TCT. The workshop program is as per
attachment-16. The number of participants and their organizations are as follows.

Table-16 Organization and number of participants to the workshop

University Technical College Technical High School
NUR 6 TCT 8 ET SOS 5
KIST 8 KSC 4 ET SAVE 5
ETO Kabayagi 5
ETO Gitarama 5
ETO Nyamata 5
ETO Kibungo 5
ETO Muhima 5

The purpose of the workshop is to provide the students on the technical education
with the opportunity of experience of manufacturing technical products by themselves,
and then the students can acquire the practical techniques and recognize the
importance of creativity as well as teamwork through the competition.
In the workshop one group consisting of two participants from the same organization
made a remote controlled car powered by electric motors. The ET teachers and some
JOCV members helped participants in technical aspect. On the third day, which is the
last day of the workshop, the tournament race was conducted.
It was the first experience for most of the participants. Everyone was very much
excited in creating a small car with the technology that they knew but never used before.
Throughout the workshop the network was established both at the school level and the
individual level. The result of questionnaire on the workshop collected from the
participants is as per attachment-17.

7.4 Activities in AE department

(1) Recommendation of establishment of AE committee
Based on the partnership between TCT and Tribhuvan University in Nepal, the way
for strengthening the “academic” field was opened. On the other hand, in the
“industrial” field the company association has just been established last year, which has
less activity. The recommendation of establishment of a committee for promoting the

22
collaboration among government, industry and academia for the spread of use of
alternative energy was submitted to the minister of MININFRA.
In order for Rwandans to develop and diffuse AE technology by Rwandans themselves
without relying on the donors’ projects, the collaboration among government, industry
and academia must be needed. There are many problems such as insufficient human
resources, insufficient government support, no analysis of the past projects, and leaving
problems unsolved. The issue is that there is no discussion among government, industry
and academia for Rwandan’s initiative in AE.

(2) MOU with MININFRA

The MOU was exchanged with MININFRA regarding technology development,
information sharing, and training implementation. Based on the MOU some of the
collaboration works such as biogas TOT were already started as mentioned in 6.3.

(3) Collaboration with Rulindo District

The Mayor of Rulindo District and the military commander of the district visited TCT.
The AE Department introduced the improved cooking stoves of Nepalese type and
discussed about the collaboration of manufacturing and experiment of the improved
cooking stoves. As a result, it was decided that the military would manufacture a
Rwanda type and the Nepalese expert would instruct for making Nepalese type of
improved cooking stoves. The experiment resulted that the combustion efficiency of the
Nepalese type is 25% higher than the Rwandan one.

8. Future issues
8.1 School management
(1) Staff recruitment
The recruitment at TCT has been attracting only fresh graduates, who cannot take up
positions like lecturers, senior lecturers, professors etc. This has been hampering the
progress of the college especially by lacking critical ideas. The temporary experience
staff should be hired on contract base.

(2) Staff retention

The most crucial issue is academic staff turnover. This is because their salary is
unattractive and the location of TCT is not convenient for their life. The possible
countermeasures against this problem are as follows.

23
 ¾ To recall the mission and objectives of TCT and the purpose and overall goal of
the project to all teachers to understand the value of TCT in Rwanda and also
have the clear picture of TCT activities in their future career
¾ To establish the monthly best teacher awarding system to give the incentive to
the teachers and also the teacher’s salary will be differentiated based on the
evaluation of their performance
¾ To enter into a bond with the teachers to make sure s/he will serve TCT for a
certain period before teachers receive the overseas training provided by the
project
¾ To build up the better staff accommodation facility in Tumba.
¾ To provide incentives through income generation activities

(3) Kigali Satellite Campus (KSC)

Currently only one small building is allocated for TCT as its Kigali Satellite Campus
in the compound of CITT. Considering many activities to be conducted at KSC, TCT
needs more buildings in the compound.

(4) Capacity of industry relation activity

TCT has only one officer in charge of the industry relation, who is newly employed
after the former officer’s disappear. Capacity of both number and ability of industry
relation is still less compared with the expected tasks such as preparation for industrial
attachment, employment and entrepreneurship support and so on. It should be
reinforced with the support of a local consultant which will be arranged by the project.

(5) Students’ transition system to university

The programs delivered at TCT do not indicate credit obtained in different subjects,
only shows number of hours attended per subject. This is a big problem for international
benchmarking especially considering that the final year students shall be graduating
end of the year 2009. It will be very difficult for the students to advance academically
into other national/international academic institutions/universities without proper
conversion of hours into credit system. TCT should convert the programs into the credit
system as soon as possible

(6) Staff administration system

Both administrative staff and academic staff ’s ethics needs to be improved. Some
staff violates staff regulations. For instance, some do not attend a school on time. Some

24
also do not attend the training conducted by experts. The following measures should be
taken.
¾ To revise staff regulations and make sure that all staff sign to abide to staff
regulation and attend all activities in compliance with staff regulations. If
teachers do not attend, e.g. their salary has to be deducted accordingly.
¾ To strictly supervise teachers’ attendance for all activities in TCT.
¾ To strictly evaluate teachers’ behavior during their probation period.

(7) Training of administrative staff

The most of administrative staff are just fresh graduate. They have no enough
knowledge and experience for school administration. Therefore, the school
administrative work, such as academic scheduling, student registering, recording the
basic school information, personnel management, etc, need to be improved. Effective
training for the administrative staff should be planned and conducted.

(8) Information disparity

There are information disparities among staff due to communication problem. In
order to realize better internal communication in TCT, a chain of command needs to be
clearer and formal communication channel diagram should be developed.

(9) Library management

Although some books have been procured for TCT library, the management system
has not been well-established yet. IT department should install the library software to
establish the library management.

8.2 IT department
(1) Strengthening the human resource
The teachers have less commitment to their work. Most of the teachers are applying
to postgraduate courses or looking for a position in another organization. It is necessary
to establish the system stable in the school management in terms of the human
resources. TCT should keep capable teachers even as guest lecturer.

(2) Benefit to the students

Although the expert has been transferring the technology to the teachers, it seems
that the students should be more involved in the expert’s activity. The students did not
have significant benefit through the teachers who have trained. The main target of the

25
expert’s activity will remain to the teachers as TOT, but more activities involving the
students should be done in the future.

(3) Kigali Satellite Campus

The building of Kigali Satellite Campus is being rehabilitated. In order to start IT
course from August 2009, the necessary equipment should be prepared as soon as
possible. At the beginning of the IT course, Mr. Saran can conduct the classes with two
other lecturers. Since TCT has no capable teachers to be in charge as a lecturer for
outside people, the new teachers with the qualified level should be recruited.

8.3 ET department
(1) Curriculum, syllabus and experiment manual
The time allocation to each subject should be reconsidered based on the following
steps.

Analysis of practical technology → Extraction of numeral formula →

Finding the technology improvement by application of the numeral formula

Also the newly prepared equipment should be used for the practical lessons. The
department started to increase the practical lessons. It should be finalized with experts’
input.

Furthermore, when revising the curriculum time allocation, the new subject “Basic
Experiment” should be included. Therefore the balance of the other subject should be
changed carefully.

(2) Intensive practical course

TCT has a plan to conduct the intensive practical course for 4 weeks from May 2009
for the 1st batch students. The curriculum of this practical lesson should be examined
with consideration of the available equipment.

8.4 AE department
(1) Retention of the teaching staff
As mentioned in 9.1, retention of the teaching staff is a serious problem in AE
department. Although 8 teachers have been trained abroad, 3 out of those 8 left TCT
after a few weeks from the training. The resigned teachers were reemployed in other

26
donor’s supporting project and a private company of which salary is about three times
higher than TCT. The retention of teachers is a basic issue. But there is no
countermeasure to protect flowing out the human resources at this moment in terms of
remuneration. It is impossible to raise the teachers’ salary in TCT. It is being examined
to introduce a salary varying system according to the attendance, or to distribute the
incomes generated by the various activities of TCT to the teachers.

(2) Examination of utilization method of course manual

The effective utilization method of the course manuals, which will be completed
within year 2009, should be decided through the discussion among the teaching staff
and administration whether the manuals will be used by teachers only or be provided to
the students as their textbook.

(3) Recruitment of technicians capable to operate the workshop equipment

The recruitment of technician who can operate the workshop equipment such as
welding machines and lathe machines are under discussion. The technician is expected
to instruct how to use the equipment to the students. The discussion also includes the
possibility of short-term employment.

(4) Study abroad for master degree

There is no senior class teacher in the department who can transfer the skills to the
young teachers and technicians. It is one of the factors that the teachers lost their
opportunity to acquire the skills. They do not have enough time to study AE related
things though they have chances to have a short-term training in Nepal and receive
instructions from the short-term experts. The study abroad in the master course
attracts the teachers toward high educational background and motivates them as well.
There are master courses for AE in UK (1-year-course) and Tribhuvan University in
Nepal (2-year-course). It should be discussed to find a way including budget issue.

(5) Planning of guest instructors

The possibility are being examined to invite some guest lecturers such as an engineer
for construction supervision and AE engineers from private sector or research field. The
field, number of lectures, remuneration should be examined.

(6) Information from Renewable Energy Association

The actual situation of the AE related companies are not clear. The company profile

27
was not yet prepared by the Renewable Energy Association, though the project has been
requesting the information from the last year.

Wireless Network Security Seminar Presented by Mr. Takeshi Sasahara JICA Expert 
The Presentation Included topics such as 
• Advantages  and  disadvantages  of  wireless  Networks,  in  which  Elimination  of  wires,  mobility,  low 
cost  of  deployment  were  enumerated  as  advantages  while  slow  throughput,  Radio  Signal 
Interference and security were enumerated as disadvantages. 
• Wireless Security Background, in which he explained that although 55.4% of Wireless Network users 
in Japan configured security, not only can WEP be cracked but that this can be done in less than a 
minute. 
• Security attacks include attacks on confidentiality, attacks on Integrity and attacks on availability of 
messages or network resources. 

2 | 

 
• War Driving, in which he explained that by using an appropriate computer configurations, Wireless 
Network Locations can be monitored and represented in a Maps like kismet Google map or kismet 
GPS map.  
• War Driving Statistics, which shows that of the wireless networks existing in Kigali city, only 43% are 
secured with encryption, while 57% are unsecured. 30% of them use WEP encryption which can be 
cracked 100 percent, while only 13% are using WPA encryption which cannot be cracked easily. 
• Security methods include Open Authentication, WEP, and WPA‐PSK etc 
• In Summary Wireless Networks can always be detected and attacked, WEP can be cracked 100% but 
even though brute force can sparsely succeed for WPA‐PSK, A use of complex key in WPA‐PSK will 
prove a good security configuration for Wireless networks. 
 
Server Virtualization with VMware Seminar Presented by Mr. S. Saravanan JICA Consultant 
This was a 36 slide presentation including titles such as 
• History  of  Virtualization,  in  which  it  was  learnt  that  Virtualization  was  actually  developed  first  by 
IBM in 1960s, although Virtualization in X86 platform only began in 1999 through VMware invention. 
• Meaning  of  Virtualization,  where  it  was  said  to  mean  the  hosting  and  operation  of  multiple 
Operating  Systems  in  the  same  Physical  Computer  or  logical  partitioning  of  physical  computer 
hardware. 
• The Benefits of Virtualization, which include server’s consolidation, Hardware utilization efficiency, 
IT productivity enhancement, Research and testing Facilitations, and quickened disaster recovery. 
• Problem  Assessment  in  Educational  Institutions  which  showed  that  there  is  underutilization  of 
server Hardware in places like KIST, KIE and SFB, without correspondent limitation in Infrastructure 
cost, obviously because they have not adopted Virtualization technology. 
• Virtualization  in  TCT,  in  which  the  VMware  ESXi  is  used  on  Host  Infrastructure  having  X86  based 
physical  server  with  Xeon  Processor,  2GB  RAM  and  450GB  HDD  capacity.  The  snapshot  shows  six 
Virtual servers set to various priority levels according to their roles. 
• VMware Product Evolution, in which VMware products like VMware workstation,  VMware Server 
and VMware ESX /ESXi. VMware servers, VMware ESX/ESXi are free whereas VMware workstation is 
not. 
• VMware  Management  Virtual  Services,  in  which  there  is  Faster  Provisioning  through  cloning, 
Template based auto server provisioning, Virtual/Physical Machines Migrations using VM converter, 
Real  time  migration  via  VMotion,  Auto  Scalability  vServices,  High  availability  vServices,  Disaster 
Recovery vServices, Security vServices and new infrastructure for Virtualization aware networks.

Questions and Answer sections 
At the end of each presentation the Master of Ceremony Mr. Tony Rutayisire allowed some brief time 
for questions and answers thus: 
• Mr. MWAKIJECE Jonathan from Kigali Institute of Science and Technology asked a question to Mr. T. 
Sasahara  (JICA  Expert)  on  whether  he  ever  considered  the  possibility  that  people  may  have 
deliberately left there wireless networks unsecured for their own reasons. Mr. Sasahara agreed with 

5 | 

 
 him that people can deliberately leave there networks unsecured, like in the case of restaurants and 
Airports for sake of their clients, but insisted that in any of cases of unsecured Wireless Networks, it 
opens rooms for outsiders to connect to ones network and deplete the available bandwidth which 
leads misdirected blames to the ISP.  
• There were no further comments or questions in case of other presentations. 
Final Remarks by Mr. Ashraph Sulaiman (Chairman TAG) 
Mr.  Ashraph  thanked  the  Participant  for  their  presence  and  contributions,  and  expressed  hope  that 
Industry needs would be met following the changes in the curriculum 
 
Conclusion and Recommendations 
The idea of organizing Stakeholders workshop is a very good one, hence it should be recommended as 
one TCT’s formal tradition. 
Secondly  the  Amount  of  contributions  resulting  from  TCT  Stakeholder  Workshops  on  Curriculum  and 
their  consequent  inputs  in  TCT  IT  department  Curriculum  development  is  enormous;  more  inputs  can 
even be realized if larger number of participants from the industries attends. There is therefore a need 
to  fashion  out  ways  of  ensuring  greater  number  of  participants  than  has  ever  been,  in  the  next 
workshop.
