Students from St John's Girls' Secondary School and St Monica Community Day Secondary School (CDSS) in Mangochi recently travelled to the Malawi University of Science and Technology (MUST) for an education visit.

The aim was to create a seamless transition pathway for students as they progress from secondary school to tertiary education. 

Apart from a campus tour of MUST, the students also visited the African Drone and Data Academy (ADDA) where Kimberly Saka and Racheal Sibale made presentations on what the Academy does, and introduced them to drones, and their usage.

At the end, the students engaged in an interactive question and answer session with the ADDA officials. 

Their second stop was at one of the university's laboratories, where Mr Jarvison Mwale demonstrated the fundamentals of practical laboratory work.

Finally, the students were taken through a presentation, highlighting academic programmes on offer, admission requirements and alternative academic pathways.

Speaking on behalf of schools, St Monicaโ€™s headmistress, Rose Msindira, thanked MUST for the warm welcome, saying the various activities were enlightening and opened up higher education and career opportunities for the students.

On her part, Bettie Mkusa, a student at St John Girls Secondary, hailed the university for opportunity, saying the visit helped them to connect secondary school studies with future career opportunities. 

Apart from the presentations, the schools also received informational brochures and academic reference materials for the reference of students who did not make the trip.
