In an era where digital literacy is no longer optional but a foundational pillar of effective education, Chinyika High School took a decisive step forward by hosting a dynamic, two-day ICT Training Workshop at Glen City from May 7 to 8, 2026.
The intensive seminar was designed with a clear, practical purpose: to equip both teaching and non-teaching staff with the essential information and communication technology (ICT) skills required to streamline modern administrative duties and elevate classroom instruction.
High-Profile Endorsements
The significance of the event was underscored by the presence of esteemed dignitaries who officially graced the occasion.
• Mr. Manuel Chigariro, the District Schools Inspector (DSI) for Goromonzi District, commended Chinyika High School’s proactive approach to professional development. He emphasized that integrating technology into school management systems is vital for aligned district growth.
• Major Rueben Muchaurawa, the Education Secretary for The Salvation Army Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Madagascar Territory, shared an inspiring message on the role of technology in broadening educational access, reminding attendees that continuous learning is essential to maintaining high institutional standards.
Bridging the Digital Divide for All Staff
Unlike conventional workshops that focus solely on classroom instruction, this program recognized that a school’s digital ecosystem relies on every department. The curriculum was tailored to bridge operational gaps across the board:
• For Teaching Staff: Focus areas included leveraging digital tools for interactive lesson planning, managing student performance data, and adopting modern instructional techniques to engage 21st-century learners.
• For Non-Teaching Staff: Sessions targeted improving administrative workflows, securing school records, and utilizing productivity software to enhance communication and day-to-day operational efficiency.
"Equipping our entire team ensures that nobody is left behind as we transition into a more digitally integrated environment."
By investing in its human capital, Chinyika High School has set a powerful example for schools across the Goromonzi District. The staff returned from Glen City not just with new technical competencies, but with a shared vision of a more connected, efficient, and forward-thinking educational institution.
