Students of the college which would receive books from Rwanda Education Board (REB) before getting transferred to the management of University of Rwanda, College of Education, told IGIHE that getting well updated information has become a challenge since the library is stocked with old literature.

“We have inadequate old books at the college that have been used for many years. We want new books with updated information,” said Valentine Uwizeyimana, one of the Mururu TTC students.

“I can’t see any dictionary at our school; indeed other books to read are not available,” said another student Tuyizere Siméon.

The Mururu TTC director, brother Rusanganwa Protais said lack of adequate literature has existed for four years since the school was handed to the management of University of Rwanda, College of Education.

“The matter started when TTCs were handed to the management of University of Rwanda, College of Education. Since then it has been four years without receiving any book yet there was a budget of availing books to all schools in Rwanda. It means all schools in Rwanda receive books except TTC’s while they should be supported with much emphasis as TTC’s are foundations of education for training teachers,” he said.
