FUTURE NEEDS
At the beginning of 2011 there were 500 children in primary education and 450 in secondary education; over 60 students undergoing vocational training in all forms of skills + the first 11 students from Trust High School going into university education.
All given a hope that can take them into a brighter future. Through the jobs they will be able take up following education they can bring greater prosperity to Kabubbu. The hope is that they will use their skills in Kabubbu.
Those that are academically able will continue to need to go on to college or university to gain further qualifications or Degrees. Those less academically able will benefit from the vocational training programme to be established in Kabubbu itself to assist them to give excellence in practical skills.
Education at all levels needs all sorts of facilities and resources which we take for granted - computers, library books, musical instruments, craft materials, science equipment, internet links and so much more.
Job creation through all forms of work and business initiatives will be a focus for the future to enhance self-sufficiency leading to self-determination. Management training will be essential. Identifying and mentoring future managers will be a priority.
The basics for the regeneration of Kabubbu are underway. Now we have the opportunity to create a firm foundation from which the community can advance - but there is still much to do!
