By Wankyo Gati and a correspondent
The minister for Communications and Transport professor Mark Mwandosya on
October 1 graced the graduation ceremony at Maromboso English-medium primary
school with a call to students to value education.
He said education was key to career development for everybody in school from
primary school to the university level, adding that parents should not backtrack
in sending their children to school.
"The best investment one can make for his or her children is education and not
physical assets. Good education will help our children get skills for better
jobs," he said.
Prof. Mwandosya, who had a successful stint at the University of Dar es Salaam
where he taught electrical engineering for many years, reminded parents that in
this era of science and technology, they should be serious on education.
The minister contributed Sh 2 million for the construction of additional
classrooms and other structures for the school which is run by the Baptist
Church in Arusha.
Officials of the school say a plot has been acquired at Olasiti on the southern
fringes of Arusha city for the construction of a secondary school.
Maromboso primary school is currently located at the church premises in the
heart of the city. It was established in 1993 and enrolled its first pupils the
following year.
