| Abstract: |
This study aimed at determining the challenges for Higher Learning Institutions (HLIs) in the development of the surrounding community. A case study of Integrated Polytechnic Regional College located in Musanze district (IPRC Musanze). The community in the vicinity of the Higher Learning Institutions undoubtedly expects their significant contributions in terms of daily lives. Over the past decades, studies that relate the paramount importance of learning institutions and people's lives improvement have been largely undertaken. For instance, the creation of employment, lowering the degree of illiteracy of the community members. This study was conducted with the purpose of identifying diverse challenges faced by Higher Learning Institutions while trying to engage themselves in the development of the surrounding community in the Musanze District, Rwanda. The questionnaires and interviews were used as the main instruments of data collection. There were questionnaires distributed to the IPRC Musanze staff and interviews conducted with IPRC Musanze Senior Managers, Local authorities of IPRC Musanze, and as well people residing around IPRC Musanze. The study yielded both quantitative and qualitative data. Findings from the study clearly indicated that there are challenges for Higher Learning Institutions to engage in the development of the surrounding community as for instance the study showed that a greater number of respondents strongly agree that the pre-hypothesized challenges extremely constitute a hindrance for Higher Learning Institutions to significantly address socioeconomic problems of the surrounding communities. The study suggested that the Ministry of Education should allocate sufficient budget line for community outreach as well as research and innovation in Higher Learning Institutions. The Higher Education Council (HEC), Rwanda Polytechnic (RP) and Workforce Development Authority (WDA) should consider effective teaching and learning, research and innovation, accountability in leadership thereby focusing on community outreach as the major criteria of any best higher learning institution thus reinforcing them to put more effort in the above-mentioned roles. |
