Charles Lawanga Teacher's College


The two pictures are from the campus of Charles Lawanga Teacher's College which is also a part of the Chikuni Mission. The coeducation teacher's college currently serves about 300 students in a two-year curriculum. The first year is on campus and the second year involves students teaching in the field. A Jesuit serves as the Vice Principal and will assume the Principal's role in the coming year. The school is a residential campus so there are hostels for men and women students, a dining hall, college hall, chapel (lower picture), classrooms and offices (upper picture) playing fields and faculty/staff housing. This is all part of the Chikuni Mission. There are currently four Jesuits working at the college. Education is a high priority within the Chikuni mission. I estimate that there are over 2000 students educated on the mission: Charles Lawanga Teacher's College, Canisius High School, Chikuni Girl's Schools, Chikuni Basic School and Charles Lawanga Basic School.
