History of the School
GIHEKE Technical Secondary School has long served the community of Giheke Sector in Rusizi District, offering young Rwandans a pathway into employment and further education through technical and vocational training.
Over the years the school grew from a general technical training centre into a full Technical Secondary School offering seven trades - from Software Development and Networking to Electricity, Electronics and Telecommunication, Building Construction and Accounting.
Guided by our motto - "We're our country's solutions providers" - and our slogan "From training to doing", we combine competency-based education with supervised industrial attachments, so that students graduate ready for the workplace. Today the school is working toward becoming a smart digital learning institution.
Accreditation & Recognition
Our academic programmes are delivered in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and the Rwanda TVET Board, ensuring that every certificate we award meets national technical and vocational education standards.
National TVET Framework
Trades and modules follow the national competency-based TVET framework and are reviewed annually.
Quality Assurance

Industry Recognition
Our graduates are recruited by employers, workshops and institutions across Rwanda and beyond.
