Sikonge FDC 2014 News
Prior to his transfer in December 2014 the then Principal Mr Mguba had introduced more modern courses in domestic electrical installation and computer skills, both more relevant for students seeking employment in the local economy.
The Acting Principal was keen to continue these courses but there are frequent problems due to the unreliable electricity supply to the college. The laptop computers supplied by FUM are well used and the battery packs conveniently take over when the power goes off. Internet access via a mobile dongle is slow and unreliable so is limited to sending and receiving emails.
The good quality sewing machines supplied by Workaid in 2014 are well used, with the treadle ones especially useful when the power goes off.
Tailoring students help develop their skills by making low cost uniforms for local primary school children. Both the students and the college benefit from the income generated.
