The Director General (DG) of Technical and Vocational Education, Dr. Ir. Nestor Niyonzima, delegated by the Ministry in charge of National Education, immediately recalled that ETS Kamenge is the mother of other technical schools in the country because, he explained, it was the first technical school to be established in Burundi.

According to Dr. Ir. Niyonzima, this 73-year-old school presents certain challenges including the lack of mattresses that can be sufficient for all the students. Some infrastructure such as classrooms, kitchen and its equipment, boarding school and latrines need to be rehabilitated, he said, indicating that even the workshop equipment is dilapidated. He also pleaded for the rehabilitation of the road that enters that school from Boulevard Mwezi Gisabo.

 

To that end, he invited the people in charge of ETS Kamenge to make an estimate for all that work so that it is presented to the government and its partners, to friends as well as to the former students of the school so that everyone brings her contribution and that everything be completed before the celebration of said jubilee. However, he promised that the government of Burundi will spare no effort to support the development of ETS Kamenge because, he said, technical or trade schools were highlighted in the Burundi PND 2018-2027.
