Ruheru community says that the TVT School is a solution for their children after completion of primary school because some of them join
Some of them, if they do not succeed in high school, do menial jobs, and others engage in immoral habits including prostitution and alcohol use.
In an interview with Forefront Magazine, Muhimpundu Sarapie is one of the mothers from the Ruheru sector. Says her expectations of this TVT School.
“In our village, we don’t have a dropout school, but each person has their talent in the school. The children who have the talent in vocations will join this school and after a short time of courses in TVT, they will be entrepreneurs and share the opportunities, and jobs to the jobless young.”
