David Mbiti Wambuli TVC principal has urged parents to enrill their children into the Technical and Vocational and Education Training (TVET) institutions to acquire the necessary skills.
Speaking during the institution open day, the principal Eunice Wambua noted that due to 100 percent transition there is need for parents to make sure no child misses higher education regardless of their education level.
“We are creating awareness to the community by opening the gates for them and letting them learn, go round the school and see what the students do. This is one of the ways of encouraging parents to appreciate the impact of TVET institutions, making the public understand more on technical skills. I am happy since the primary and secondary school learners joined and learned a lot,” Wambua said.

Wambua hailed girls for taking up courses which were previously dominated by male students and excel well.
“In Agriculture department our best student is a girl. We also had one of the best plumbers who have so far been employed by the county. Still in the current class we have a girl who is doing great, in mechatronics we have girls doing better and we are happy for that,” Wambua said
She added that nowadays there are no men oriented courses since the girls have taken up and in the near future maybe the number will be even more.
“It’s a cultural aspect and belief that there are male dominated courses but as trainers we will try our best to sensitize the girls.” She noted
Wambua having been promoted last year from deputy to principal added that the college now stands at a population of 1316 with 262 girls and 854 boys having picked it at only 300 students.
