George Secondary School is open for learning!

We are pleased to announce that the George Secondary School in Twapia has now been completed.

The new school has created 250 places for grades 8 and grade 10 pupils  (school years 7 and 9 in the UK)

The school, which will be operated by PEAS, has recently been renamed ‘George Secondary School’ after a vote at a community meeting.

14 new trainees from the local community helped to build the school, receiving both practical skills and building theory whilst learning on the job. After this the trainees sit tests to gain a TEVETA certificate. TEVETA is a nationally recognised trade qualification, which greatly improves the trainees’ employment opportunities in the construction sector.

The second phase of the Twapia project will be starting shortly and will include up to 6 more classrooms and another dormitory, increasing capacity to 1,000. Making Twapia our biggest project to date. What do you make of our latest school? We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Fantastic project. Creating sustainable education AND strengthening infrastructure by creating skilled and qualified trainees from the local community. A brilliant collaboration of two excellent NGO's. This is real development in action.
