Our Team of Dedicated Teachers Inspiring a Generation of Learners

Our team of dedicated teachers is the driving force behind our educational institution's success. They possess a remarkable passion for their craft and a genuine commitment to nurturing and inspiring young minds. With their unwavering dedication, they create a supportive and engaging learning environment where students can thrive academically and personally. These exceptional individuals continuously go above and beyond to ensure that each student receives the attention and guidance they need to reach their full potential. Their tireless efforts, creativity, and expertise empower students to explore their curiosities, develop critical thinking skills, and cultivate a lifelong love for learning. Our team of dedicated teachers is truly the cornerstone of our educational community, making a profound impact on the lives of our students every single day.

1. Intellectual Formation

Don Bosco Technical Secondary School, Embu follows Kenyan Educational System. Its educational approach stresses on a high quality of academic performance. In this school, the pass mark is 50% and is equal to C according to our grading system. From Form I to Form III every student is expected to attain 50% in all subjects; below 50% in any three subjects a student will not be promoted the following year into the next Form. In the case of failure of any student to cope with the educational demands, the school does not allow repeating the class. The concerned student must leave the school and find another school on his own. Text books are provided to the students. The reference books remain in the Library. The students are encouraged to use them to broaden their knowledge through extra readings.

2. Cultural Formation

By means of study and work, individuals take command of the world, cooperating with God the Creator in a never-ending process of creating a better world. The pupils of this Salesian school are taught the dignity of work and a sense of responsibility. Manual work is a necessary and noble element of the Salesian system of education for the formation of young people. Through manual work, students are prepared to embrace any kind of life. Work also encourages solidarity with the millions of Kenyans who toil for their daily sustenance, as well as with their parents, who make enormous sacrifices to pay their school fees. The school promotes all cultural elements of the people of Kenya that align with the Catholic faith, while simultaneously discouraging foreign cultural elements that are destructive and, at times, contrary to African culture.

3. Social Formation

The Salesian school is a big "family" where mutual respect and affection reign. The Rector (Director) is the father of this family. The students are always free to turn to him for advice, guidance, and encouragement in their difficulties. The same family spirit assists and inspires the students in all their activities. Corrections, admonitions, or punishments are necessary to ensure personal improvement. Obedience is a necessary virtue in the formation of the young. All the Salesians and staff members are there to take the place of the parents. With love and concern, they will make every effort in the formation of the young people entrusted to their care. Therefore, all students promptly obey the authorities of the school and the regulations of the school.

4. Groups and Movement

The school promotes various groups and movements to help the students develop their different talents and skills, as well as to provide them with the experience of togetherness. With permission from the school administration, students can form associations, solidarities, or clubs for the benefit of the community or for their own enrichment. The group will have an assigned patron who will guide and support the group in its journey towards the desired objective.
