MP Lovemore Matuke
Speaker after speaker who gathered at the ground breaking ceremony at the school last week praised Matuke for promoting education in his constituency. Villagers praised their MP saying he was taking the right steps in promoting development in their area.
However, Matuke said the school was going to service not only people from his constituency since he was planning to set up international standards which would attract students from even beyond the country’s borders.
“We are going to be the best in terms of quality of education. We are setting high standards so that we become the province’s if not the country’s first preference whenever parents think of sending their children to school,” said Matuke.
Teachers who attended the ceremony were already approaching Matuke seeking to be recruited at the school.
However, Matuke announced that he was not going to take teachers who do not have a very good track record.
“I will only take teachers who can bring 100 percent pass rate here,” he added.
Eight classrooms and five hostels have already been constructed at the school and work is in progress to complete all outstanding buildings before the end of the year..
Matuke said the school is going to open its doors any time from now.
The ground breaking ceremony was attended by several Members of Parliament from Masvingo Province.Local
