Anglican Diocese of Manicaland Prepares for a Successful 2025 Educational Year

The Anglican Diocese of Manicaland has confirmed its readiness for the 2025 educational year, with preparations progressing smoothly for the new academic term. The diocese, which operates 54 schools across the province, including both primary and secondary institutions, is focused on ensuring a seamless start for all students.

Among the notable schools under the diocese’s management are St. Augustine, St. Faith, and St. Mathias Tsonzo, which are well-regarded for their academic excellence. According to Bishop Eric Ruwona, the diocese is well-prepared for the upcoming term, with staff members on the ground to oversee the smooth operation of all schools.

“Our officials are on the ground, ensuring that everything is in place for the opening of all our schools, both primary and secondary. Boarding school students have already begun their journey, many traveling by our school buses, and we are hopeful that no accidents will be reported,” Bishop Ruwona stated.

The diocese also confirmed that the enrolment process for the new school year went exceptionally well. New Form One and Lower Sixth students are eager to start their classes, with many excited about the opportunities ahead. Bishop Ruwona expressed optimism that the academic year would be off to a great start, as students embark on their educational journey with high hopes.

“The enrolment exercise has gone on very well. We are starting the new term with fresh students in Form One and Lower Sixth, and we believe they will have the best possible start to their educational journey,” he added.

The diocesan schools have a history of strong performance, especially in the Ordinary and Advanced Level examinations. Last year’s results reflected the hard work and dedication of both students and educators, and the diocese is hopeful for even better outcomes in the year ahead.

The diocese secretary, Edmund Samutereko, praised the schools for their efforts in supporting the government’s drive to improve education in the country. He also called on the government to make more land available to the church in order to build additional schools to meet the growing demand for quality education in the province.

“I am pleased with the preparations made by our schools for the upcoming term. We are working closely with local authorities to ensure that everything is ready. The church, as part of its vision, has started more than 200 schools, and we hope to continue expanding in the future,” Samutereko remarked.

With the commitment of the Anglican Diocese of Manicaland and its extensive network of schools, the 2025 educational year looks set to be a promising one for students across the province.
