The government says it will finish building a long-delayed trade school in Thyolo. The handicraft skills school at Thyolo Technical College has been stalled for five years. Labour Minister Joel Masina Chigona stated construction will restart soon. The goal is to complete the project next year.
Minister Chigona emphasized that the school will provide vocational training for idle youth. It aligns with wider efforts to create jobs through skills development. Thyolo District Commissioner Noel Dakamau called for collaboration between all relevant departments and organizations. He said coordination is key to overcoming past bureaucratic and logistical holdups.
Once operational, the facility will teach practical skills to boost employability and small business creation. Community leaders have welcomed the news, hoping it opens new opportunities. Officials will monitor progress to prevent further delays. The project is part of a national strategy to strengthen technical education. Authorities hope the finished school becomes a model for other districts and a key center for regional skills training.
