“This is not just a bus — it’s a vehicle for dreams, for access, and for visibility,” he said, adding that the improved transport will allow students to access academic competitions, career expos, and field trips previously out of reach.
Mt Selinda has shown consistent academic improvement, with Mr. Mundeta noting a steady rise in pass rates since 2019.
The school’s excellence in science education has earned it recognition as the Chipinge district STEM hub and recipient of the Ministry’s Permanent Secretary’s Merit Award for discipline and academic performance.
