THE school’s business units’ initiative is gaining traction, with the government having commissioned two irrigation centre pivots at Dadaya High School in Zvishavane.
The commissioning of two centre pivots by the government at Dadaya High School in Zvishavane this Saturday marked another milestone in the agricultural sector.
The new equipment, which comes as a huge boost to the school’s business units thrust, will play a pivotal role in improving food security, enhancing the self-sustenance of the school and providing practical agricultural skills to learners in line with the heritage-based education curriculum.
“This was motivated by the drive of the President. The school is going to be self-sustainable, and the community as well. The school can rely on its own,” Dadaya High School Head, Mr Giveus Chirume said.
“This was necessitated by the need to empower Dadaya High School. We wanted to promote practical learning,” Dadaya High School SDC Chairperson, Gift Gwindingwe noted.
The government reiterated its commitment towards supporting agricultural productivity and school business units across the country.
“Today’s event underscores government efforts towards NDS1. I commend Dadaya High School for embracing the school’s business units concept. We are ready to support all developmental initiatives as we strive to attain upper-middle-income society status by 2030,” Midlands Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Honourable Owen Ncube said.
The government has introduced a heritage-based education curriculum to equip learners with skills that will address the country’s industrial needs.
Meanwhile, the government has commissioned four staff blocks at Dadaya High School to address accommodation challenges at the learning facility.
