TVET 2023
Because of its 'newness' in nature, the school had some difficulty, at first, to organize and stream the Classes to accommodate students choices. And because each subject has a duration of only one (1) school Term this also messes up the preparation of the School Timetable. Eventually, we found a way to go around these problems, and this will help us prepare and improve it in the future. Consequently, and on a trial basis, we have 3 teachers manning this Department: Mr. Kaburoro, Mrs. Reueri and Mr. Rotan.
For this year, at Form 4 or Year 10 level, Kaburoro will be teaching Economics and Ms. Reueri Agricultural Studies, apart from their own majors they have with other levels. On the other hand, Mr. Rotan, who majors in Industrial Technology subjects will teach Graphical Communication (Technical Drawing), Information, Communication & Technology (ICT), Wood Work, Hospitality, and Business Studies. To make up for his maximum teaching load he also teachers Biology.

2023 TVET RESULTS (COURSE WORK + END OF TERM EXAM)
EVALUATION
All 31 Students listed are registered - therefore, even though they played truant throughout all school activities, they are counted as part of the F4A Class
In Term 1, 9 students participated in the Graphical Comm. course - 22 did not
Only 2 students out of 9 achieved 50% or more. This is mainly due to incomplete number of IAs
In Term 2, 10 students undertook the Woodwork Course: unfortunately cannot get hold of the Agricultural Studies student's results
Most WW students failed the Exam due to incomplete projects
In Term 3, only 15 students attended ICT classes. 16 did not. Most seem to have a phobia of handling a computer, thus totally avoiding attending lab classes
Of the 15 who took the course 11 acquired a sound knowledge of the basic skills in operating the prescribed MS Office programs, scoring 40 to 50% of the 60% course work.
EVALUATION
Students in this Form did well in ICT with 11 passes
In Economics the students did poorly in their CW resulting in only 6 passes
And in Business Studies the students did very poorly in the lessons in general, resulting in only 4 passes.
It can be seen that most students here have no CW done, especially with the ICT, and only a few in the other subjects
The poor CW marks reflect students submitting poorly done work and, or incomplete work.
EVALUATION
With food & Nutrition only 7 students passed
Their performances in both the CW and Exam is minimal as this subject is more a writing exercise rather than practical, and the students still find difficulty in reading their notes
With ICT the students here performed much better. Most have their CW done, even partially, resulting in 74% passing.
CW involves practical work and the students are more equipped in this area
In Economics 5 students passed.
it can be seen that most have not performed well in both their CW and Exams
What needs to be done to improve all Form 4 results in the future?
Firstly, the students must be 'pressed' to do and complete all their CW activities.
It is impossible to solve the truancy problem by the students, but giving out CW tasks that could be done in their own time may, upon completion, gain them some points.
