Karagwe Secondary School (KARASECO)

Goals

• To have a school, which will be exemplary: morally and academically in our society.
• To provide knowledge that will contribute towards recipients’ self-advancement: economically and socially so as to enable them participate fully in the national building activities.
• To prepare children physically and spiritually who would later serve the Diocese and the ELCT at large in various activities.

Achievements

• The construction of the dormitory for female students has started and is going on stage by stage as planned. Advanced Level studies have been expanded by introducing science subjects’ combinations. Currently, we have the following nine combinations: HGL, HGK, HKL, HGE, EGM, PCB, PCM, PGM and CBG.
• The school has strengthened the teaching staff as follows: 4 teachers have graduated from the University of Dar es Salaam and the Open University of Tanzania respectively. At different times, 6 teachers have joined different universities in the country to pursue undergraduate studies and are expected to graduate in few years time.
• The school employed 3 science teachers for the purpose of enhancing science departments.
• Having power supply fulltime, we have managed to install Internet equipment. The Internet access has effectively facilitated various teaching and learning activities in the school.
• The school has continued to excel academically, and thus, continuing to receive several awards in regard to good results in Form 2, Form 4 and Form 6 National Examinations every year.
• Although we do not have enough computers to cater for our needs, however, majority of students and staff members have achieved basic computer skills and are able to access learning and teaching materials on the Internet and\or can use computers for other purposes in their day to day activities.

Challenges

• The increase in the prices of goods, for instance food, fuel, spares, electricity, books, stationeries, laboratory equipment, building materials, etc., has led to the increase in school fees. This is due to the on-going inflation every year. We are thinking of establishing big income generating projects in order to reduce the financial constraints.
• The construction of a bigger science laboratory and a library is also a big challenge because such buildings need much money.
• To increase the number of female teachers so as to strengthen the care of female students. Hardly female teachers apply for the job.
• The shortage of water during the dry season has affected academic and non-academic activities especially gardening.

Expectations

• Completion of the female students’ dormitory so as to admit more girls in Forms Five and Six studies especially in science subjects.
• To encourage the remaining teachers to undergo further studies up to the level of first degree.
• Expansion and consolidation of A-level studies by introducing other combinations such as ECA (Economics, Commerce and Accountancy) and CBA (Chemistry, Biology and Agricultural Science) aiming at getting enough Form Six candidates who would join the Karagwe University College of Agriculture and Centre for Environmental Studies planned to be established just close to KARASECO in the near future.
• The construction of a bigger science laboratory and a library. The new library to be built will provide the chance to the current library become a computer laboratory for students.
• Completion of Water Drilling Project aimed at getting adequate water supply to cater for all school needs.
• More improvement in all academic activities; students’ discipline; environmental conservation and care;
• self-reliance activities as part of students’ studies and health preservation.
