Umutara Polytechnique

Umutara Polytechnic (UP) was established as an institution of higher learning in 2006, on the site of a former rural secondary school, with very limited facilities for laboratories, workshops, equipment, lecture rooms and so on. In 2009 the institution was gazetted as a public high learning institution by an act of parliament and is fully regulated and funded by government.
