Teacher Leopold Shares His Positive Experience at Rubavu Technical College - TSS
Mr. Dusingizimana Leopold, a committed and passionate educator in the Electronics and Telecommunication department at Rubavu Technical College - TSS, recently shared his deep appreciation for the institution’s learning environment. Having taught at the school for several years, he has witnessed firsthand how the school’s investment in modern equipment and practical tools has transformed the way students learn and understand technology. His experience reflects how a well-equipped technical school can empower both teachers and learners to reach their highest potential.
As a teacher across Level Three, Level Four, and Level Five, Mr. Leopold teaches a variety of subjects, including electronic circuits, digital systems, mobile communication, and telecommunication infrastructure. He admits that the college provides the necessary training kits, soldering stations, oscilloscopes, signal generators, and network simulators which make it easier for students to experiment with real-life electronics and telecommunication scenarios. These tools are not just supplementary—they are the backbone of the training process, enabling students to transition from theory to practice with confidence.
He notes that the school places a strong emphasis on hands-on learning, which he believes is essential in technical education. Students are regularly involved in laboratory work where they assemble and test electronic circuits, troubleshoot faults in communication systems, and install basic telecommunication setups. This hands-on experience, combined with supportive supervision from experienced instructors, makes learning more engaging and effective. “You can see the spark in their eyes when they finally succeed in building or repairing a circuit on their own,” he says.
In addition, Mr. Leopold highlights that the Electronics and Telecommunication trade is in high demand in today’s digital world. He explains that the students are not only prepared for national exams but also for the job market, where skills like mobile phone repair, antenna setup, and computer networking are increasingly needed. Many graduates from the trade have successfully secured jobs or started their own small businesses thanks to the solid foundation they received at Rubavu Technical College.
In conclusion, Mr. Leopold expressed his gratitude for being part of an institution that is committed to quality technical education. He applauds the school management for continuously upgrading training materials and ensuring that both students and staff grow professionally. For him, Rubavu Technical College is more than a workplace—it’s a community of innovation, learning, and opportunity.
