scholarship/Bursary scheme

Beyond the promotion of higher quality education and human resources hub for the division, the need to also support indigent students in the pursuit of their education especially considering the harsh reality of post-COVID-19 and the excruciating global economic slump which has undermined the capacity of many parents to cope with the educational demand of their children and by implication resulting in several children dropping out of school and becoming vulnerable to crime, cultism and hooliganism.
