school project

The children will mainly come from the families that work the coconut plantations near Cape Peponi and from nearby fishing camps.
The School will, as a start, offer Kindergarten and primary schooling, Cape Ltd thereby hopes that an “excuse” from the parents such as “he/she has to stay home to take care of his/her little brother(s)/sister(s)” will not qualify since even very small children may enter the school. Directly connected to this is surely the children’s way to and from school and Cape Ltd has thought of several solutions including organized Co. transportation.
The age group in each class may vary since even older children are often illiterate.
Important: The goal in the future is to keep a low number of pupils in each class, like this teachers and pupils will have as much time as possible for each other!
The School will be based on the English School system. English and Swahili, the two official languages of Tanzania, will be taught as primary languages French as the third since a great part of Africa is francophone.
School teacher(s) may be employed locally or from abroad and a couple of interested people are already in contact with us. Not forgetting there are also Mrs. G Jansson’s teaching qualifications and the ones of not yet mentioned Mrs. Ann-Francoise Ammann, “soon to become Mrs. Saevarsson”, who at the moment works as a primary school Teacher in Switzerland and who will be part of the project from Dec. 2000.
To give the children a “school uniform” is due to the fact that it supplies the children with a decent outfit, Cape Ltd’s uniform is not the traditional “English” one, its style is on the contrary rather modern. The school itself will be located on the 12 Hectares in a peaceful surrounding with plenty of nature.
