Vocationalising secondary education
Practical and employable skills alongside academic study.
Through AMHS, AMEF is vocationalising secondary education by giving students opportunities to learn practical and employable skills alongside their academic studies. This approach enables learners to discover their talents, develop practical competencies, solve real-life problems and explore pathways towards employment, entrepreneurship and self-reliance.
Students have opportunities to develop skills in areas such as:
- Computer and ICT
- Tailoring and Fashion Design
- Hairdressing and Hair Cutting
- Bakery
- Welding
- Carpentry
- Soap and Cosmetic Making
- Agri-business
- Entrepreneurship and Leadership
Learning through real-world projects
Learning by doing.
Through Project-Based Learning at AMHS, AMEF encourages students to identify challenges within their school and community, develop ideas, work collaboratively and create practical solutions. Rather than only learning about problems, students are encouraged to learn by doing.
Brass Band Club (BBC)
Discovering talent through music.
AMEF established the Brass Band Club (BBC) at Asaba Memorial High School (AMHS) to give students an opportunity to discover and develop their talents through music.
The club provides training in brass band instruments, music performance, teamwork, discipline and leadership while building confidence and creativity.
School Feeding Programme
Helping vulnerable learners stay in school.
AMEF recognises that hunger and food insecurity can make it difficult for children to attend school regularly, concentrate in class and remain in education.
Our School Feeding Programme supports vulnerable learners, especially girls, orphans and children from low-income families, by providing nutritious meals during the school day.
Co-curricular development
Holistic learning beyond the classroom.
AMEF promotes talent development and holistic education through co-curricular activities that help students discover and develop their abilities, confidence, creativity, teamwork and leadership skills.
Activities include Brass Band, Debates, Spelling Bee, Music, Dance and Drama (MDD), Games and Sports.
International School Exchange Programme
Connecting students in Kiruli with the wider world.
AMEF is a member of the Global Schools Alliance, an alliance that connects schools around the world. The partnership between AMHS and International Book Project was established through AMEF, helping connect AMHS students with students around the world.
Building on these relationships, AMEF seeks to establish further school-to-school exchange partnerships between Asaba Memorial High School and schools in the United States, Canada, Europe, Rwanda, South Africa and other countries.
