As GoCongo Enterprises has expanded through mergers and acquisitions, the company has recently inherited responsibility for additional kindergarten and primary schools situated across its farms and ranches.
GoCongo’s current goal for these schools is to raise them up to a consistent standard of educational quality, in which all students gain key knowledge and skills that can equip them to contribute to life in their community and beyond. In order to achieve this, a baseline study of the current state of the schools is underway, with the goal of measuring the following parameters:
GoCongo currently operates a number of schools providing education to hundreds of students on ranch sections at Biano, Biano II, Shinshinkua, Ketentania, and Kinko, just north of the village of Kansenia and about 70km north of the city of Fungurume.
Some of these are full primary schools catering to Grades 1-6, and some are single-classroom feeder schools catering to Grades 1-2, as feeder schools to the main schools situated nearer some of the more remote communities.
GoCongo currently operates a multitude of schools providing education to thousands of students on ranch sections north of Kamina at Kiabukwa, Kelambwe, Kitumba, Makanza, Kindele, Mundoie, Tshongwe, Mushindji, Mudidie, Lupete, Muntobwe, Luania, Lutwai, Katongola, and Mukishi.
Most of these schools are full primary schools catering to Grades 1-6, and a few also have some secondary school sections. Some of the schools are operated in partnership with the government, which employs some teachers.
