About Kizito College

edit

St Kizito College is dominated by girls because it only accommodates girls in the hostel, but both girls and boy are admitted . Kizito hostel is the cleanest hostel from all the hostels in Caprivi region[3]. learners at Kizito college are not allowed to grow hair to avoid distractions in the school work. Learners are at risk as the school is at the river side, during flood seasons the water comes in the school area which is unhealthy and some other kids go swimming to the river which is a risk life, that's why Kizito college has strict rules and regulation. st Kizito college offers fields like natural science,home economics, commerce and its the only school that offers home science in the Caprivi region. Kizito has been successful in good results and it has produced many graduates who are all over the Namibian market.

Development

edit

St Kizito college is situated in a very remote and poor area of Namibia. As it was established many years ago, its no more in a good shape, renovation of buildings is needed, shortage of text books and teaching equipment, lack of laboratory equipment for learners and poor library and computers services, even network failure. Saint Kizito is very far from development and technology.
