It's true when they say, 'children learn better through real life experiences. A young and dynamic school head in Tsholotsho District made sure that the students at his school got to experience that. Mr. Muziwandile Dube is the Head of Samahuru Secondary School in Tsholotsho District, with a deep passion for seeing his students going on to do well in life. He strongly believes that given equal opportunities to their city counterparts, students in rural secondary schools have the capacity to enroll at some of the nation's top tertiary institutions.
In a bid to motivate his students, Mr. Dube last Sunday 21st March, 2016 organised an educational trip for students at his school, to Solusi University's Graduation Ceremony. He took along 38 students and three teachers, one parent representative and the school clerk. This may seem a minor thing, but such trips help to broaden the children's horizons, especially for the majority of them who due to lack of resources at their homes rarely venture outside the area where they live.
Samahuru Secondary School is situated 180 Kms away from Bulawayo. They are lucky in having a Head of Mr. Dube's calibre as he is deeply passionate about seeing the school develop and the children excelling. The children were excited about this trip as they were able to see for themselves where they would end up if they continued working hard in class. Together with his staff, Mr. Dube has also introduced monthly awards to excelling students in the school in a bid to motivate them to take their work seriously. After the success of this trip, Mr. Dube and his staff would like to take their students to the magnificent Victoria Falls.
In the meantime, one of Mr. Dube's wishes is to see his school construct a modern science laboratory in an effort to complement the government's efforts of stepping up the teaching of Science subjects (STEM) in the Zimbabwean school curriculum. Samahuru Secondary School has a student enrolment of 210 made up 135 girls and 75 boys and a total staff compliment of 13 teachers made up of 6 female and 7 males who are all eager to see their school develop.
