Scotch College

July 2008 Update

The third and final stage of construction has begun at Kapumfi. The construction of a Science Laboratory and Library will increase the number of functioning classrooms to seven. The second of two teacher residence is now inhabitable and has attracted an additional qualified teacher to the region. Plans are also underway to facilitate the drilling of a borehole at Kapumfi School.

The latest progress received from the field states, “Kapumfi school is changing its face as every phase is completed. It is now able to provide a wide range of activities for students. The new school will benefit more than 3000 school aged children in the ADP. Currently the enrollment is at 448 (258 boys and 190 girls). These students are now learning in a much more conducive environment.”

This house was recently rehabilitated. As a result, a new female teacher has been sent to the school by government. There are now two inhabitable teacher houses at Kapumfi.

Progress is being made on the new Science Laboratory at Kapumfi.
