GURUVE - A new boarding institution, St Ramero Kudakwashe Group of Schools, is set to open in Guruve's Ward 19 in January 2027, expanding access to secondary education for learners in the district and surrounding communities.
Construction of the school is currently underway, with the institution expected to begin operations by enrolling Form One and Form Five learners.
Ward 19 councillor Samson Kamu welcomed the development, describing it as a major milestone for the community and a significant investment in the education sector.
"This is a major milestone for our ward. We are excited to see such an important educational institution being established in our community. It speaks directly to President Mnangagwa's philosophy of 'Nyika inovakwa nevene vayo'. Development must start with us, and this school will go a long way in improving access to education for our children," said Kamu.
The school's project manager, Obert Mapfungautsa, said construction work was progressing rapidly and remained on course for completion before the end of the year.
"We are working at a tremendous speed to ensure that the school is completed by December. Our target is to open in January 2027, and we are doing everything possible to meet that deadline. We are committed to delivering a quality learning institution that will serve the community," said Mapfungautsa.
The new boarding school is expected to help address challenges faced by learners who travel long distances to access secondary education facilities.
Community members have welcomed the project, expressing hope that it will improve educational opportunities and contribute to local development.
The initial intake of Form One and Form Five learners will cater for students beginning secondary school and those advancing to Advanced Level studies.
Education stakeholders say the establishment of new schools remains critical in improving access to quality education, particularly in rural areas where boarding facilities often play an important role in supporting learning.
