Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>As Rwanda strives to become a middle-income economy by 2035 and high income economy by 2050, the government is actively promoting Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programs with new subsidy.<\/p>\n

As the program which intends to reduce the cost from the student by 30% kick starts in this third term, the government is expected to inject Rwf5billions.<\/p>\n

The offer will benefit boarding students enrolled in vocational schools across the country, but also be part of the efforts by the government to achieve its ambition of enrolling 60% ordinary level (s.3) graduates into TVETs by 2024 and expand job creation.<\/p>\n

In 2024, the government targets to create 250,000 new jobs, annually.<\/p>\n

The subsidy is also among the government strategies designed to help develop a critical mass of skilled youths and adults in many occupational areas that will accelerate its development agenda after citizens are turned into a highly productive and competitive workforce.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this year\u2019s fiscal year, the government decided to inject Rwf5 billion to buy the equipment that is used in the government-aided vocational schools. This will enable schools to reduce fees,\u201d Eng. Paul Umukunzi, the Director-General of Rwanda TVET Board said.<\/p>\n

The decision follows the recent Ministry of Education campaign and other efforts to massively enroll youth in vocational schools. The two-week campaign conducted in February this year aimed to sensitize youth and parents about the \u201cfuture of work\u201d.<\/p>\n

Vocational skills are believed to be a key pillar for socio-economic development and transformation.<\/p>\n

Currently, only 31% of the students who leave the Ordinary level of secondary school (\u2018O\u2019 level) join TVET schools, but officials target to double the number by 2024.<\/p>\n

According to RTB, the youth should change their perception and go for TVET skills because 42% of the jobs on the labour market will be done by TVET graduates in the near future.<\/p>\n

The government says technical skills have an important role in attaining increased output, reducing unemployment and poverty, as well as enhancing social development in Rwanda.<\/p>\n
