Today, Minister of State for Education Claudette Irere joined the Oklahoma Christian University (OC) Rwanda Class of 2026 and their families for the graduation ceremony at the Kigali Convention Centre. The event also marked two decades of a successful educational partnership, which has produced over 700 impactful alumni.
In her speech, Claudette Irere who is also an alumna of Oklahoma Christian University, reflected on the transformative role the university has played in shaping leaders grounded in values, integrity, and service.

Drawing from her own journey as an OC Eagle, she reminded graduates that education goes beyond personal success and carries a responsibility to positively impact communities and the nation.
She challenged the Class of 2026 to lead with purpose and character, noting that Rwanda’s future depends not only on technical skills, but also on ethical and service-driven leadership.

“To be made for more means recognizing that success without service is incomplete. Your education equips you not only for personal advancement but also for leadership, stewardship, innovation, and ethical influence. This is the standard of leadership that Rwanda needs as we embark on transformative journeys.”

Today, Minister of State Claudette Irere officiated the closing of the RP Skills Challenge Hackathon 2026, where 48 competitors from Rwanda Polytechnic campuses across the country showcased innovative solutions to real industry challenges in energy, manufacturing, mining and digital transformation.

In her remarks, the Minister emphasized the importance of linking technical education with practical industry needs.

“Our TVET system is not merely producing graduates; it is actively engineering solutions to the operational bottlenecks that hinder our national productivity,” she noted.

She added that the hackathon demonstrates that Rwanda’s graduands are “not just job seekers, but solution providers already vetted by the private sector.”

Winning teams from RP Tumba, Huye, Kigali, Karongi and Musanze campuses were each awarded Frw 1 million in recognition of their outstanding performance and innovative ideas.
