A.E.I Coordinator Back form Italy

The A.E.I. Coordinator, Mr. Alessandro Marchetti arrived back home from Italy where he went for several reasons some of which were to meet friends, volunteers, donors and associations that play bigger roles in the Cooperative’s undertakings. He had also an opportunity to give a progress report of projects that are carried out at Andiamo.

In Academic circles, the A.E.I. coordinator commented that there is a need to work hard on both sides i.e. teachers and students so as to yield good results always. On the other hand, he commended the improvement shown in all academic Institutions. At the Technical school he pointed out that there is now stable staff which has also helped students to perform better. In this regard, there are examples such as those of excellent performance by all students who sat for Electrical Installation National Trade Test. At the Technological Pole, the same story of excellence was realized when all students passed, two of them obtaining distinctions.

In terms of association, TEVET is currently working with Andiamo Education Institution in order to improve and standardize learning environment. In a lighter note, TEVET appreciates and acknowledges commendable work realized by Andiamo Education Institutions.

There are also students doing studies abroad and within the country. It is expected that by next year they will all be working and sharing their knowledge with the rest of the employees in various sections.

As we are proud of all these, we however encounter some problems. In this regard, we can talk of insufficient infrastructure since most of it is under construction such as dormitories and workshops which also require sufficient funding, hence we have the funds but we are still working to finish workshops and dormitories. On top of this, many students have the desire to study but can not due to lack of school fees.

We would wish to ask certain organizations that may finance studies for underprivileged students just like the gesture showed by the World Vision International and UNICEF to the support for students doing music school programs.
