EDUCATION

Igoma Islamic Education Center has been established with a view to provide circular and Islamic education training for Same District Community members and the adjacent regions. The center when fully operational shall provide education and training for pre-school, primary, secondary, higher education and vocational apprenticeship to youth which will enable them either secure jobs easily or be self employed. The Board of Trustees of the Center have, after making consultations with various take holders decided to begin implementation of this project by construction a vocational Training College and a polytechnic boarding secondary school

Igoma Polytechnic Secondary School

Recruitment of O-Level students for the Polytechnic Secondary School is expected to commence during the  year 2014/15 while A – level students will be recruited three years after  the Management has acquired adequate academic and administration experience.

The Centre will have in place basic teaching and full board facilities and other essential practical and academic infrastructure to ensure quality training delivery to students. The centre will, as much as practicable, separate these facilities for boys and girls in order to uphold Islamic values. On the academic perspective the mode and quality of education provided will be in line with the curriculum of the Ministry of National Education and Vocational Training. The Government is currently emphasizing incorporation of some technical training in secondary schools in its quest to reduce the spate of huge youth unemployment in the country. Similarly in line with that paradigm the center will provide vocational skill to students at certificate and diploma level to afford them to be readily employed or be self employed upon accomplishing the training.
