The Don Bosco Technical College at Alafua in Samoa celebrated its 25th anniversary last week.
Prime Minister Tuilaepa Lupesoliai Sailele Malielegaoi said the College has contributed well to developing the students’ confidence, skills and capability in areas like Samoan dancing.
He said it had provided champion rowers in the annual long boats – fautasi races that has had tourists’ interest in Samoan culture.
The College was established in 1981 as a vocationally oriented training centre that aims to give students work-related skills useful for both employment and for improving living conditions in the villages.
Don Bosco Technical Centre offers a “second chance” to about 270 young men, many of whom have struggled to successfully complete or continue in mainstream schooling.
The Samoan government has a partnership with Don Bosco to improve their classroom work, skills and knowledge on technical subjects.
