HISTORY

The Integrated Polytechnic Regional Centre (IPRC) Kigali, Kicukiro was initially established by the Government of Rwanda in 2008 as “Kicukiro College of Technology (KCT)”. The core mission of the college was to develop and provide professional technical education at the level of diploma (A1).

After the genocide two secondary schools used the infrastructure consecutively up to January 2008.
