Lucas-Nülle systems for technical colleges in Burundi

Since the end of hostilities in Burundi, the Belgian government has been investing in then reconstruction of its former colony through aid organisations. Schools and universities are being given top priority.

 

In 2009, Lucas-Nülle was awarded a contract by a Belgian aid organisation to install new laboratories at three colleges so that training in state-of-the-art training facilities would once again be possible.
At the beginning of last year, Lucas-Nülle secured one of the major contracts put out to tender by BTC (Belgische Technische Coöperatie) and was thus given the opportunity to play a part in rebuilding the country‘s education infrastructure. The fact that Lucas-Nülle always puts its training systems into operation on site and offers extensive training for the teaching staff was a key factor in winning the contract.

 

Installation and training on site
“It is not enough simply to deliver the training systems and leave the colleges to get on with it. Intensive teacher training is necessary so that the institutions can use their new equipment competently and the students actually benefit from it“ explains Lionel Hemme, Project Manager at Lucas-Nülle, who was on site to oversee the delivery of the training systems.
