Chemukute High Charts a Digital Future While Nurturing All-Round Learners

By Admire Chitsungo

Kadoma – Chemukute High School, one of Kadoma’s rising boarding institutions, is setting the pace in modern education through a blend of technology, discipline, and all-round learner development.

Tucked away in a serene part of Kadoma, the school’s sprawling campus reflects order and safety. The girls’ hostels, enclosed within a secure durawall and located about two kilometres from the boys’ hostels, ensure privacy, security, and a comfortable boarding environment.

School Head Mr Nowell Mutangi said the institution’s goal is to provide holistic education that meets modern academic and technological demands.

“We are on a digital learning trajectory as part of our 2026 vision,” said Mr Mutangi. “Our learners already use laptops under teacher supervision for research and study, and we plan to install interactive boards in classrooms to enhance participation and creativity.”

The school’s academic structure allows learners to specialise early according to their interests and strengths. Upon enrolment, learners are screened and placed into one of three units-Science, Commercials, or Arts -a system that ensures tailored learning experiences.

“This approach helps learners identify and develop their potential from the beginning,” added Mr Mutangi. “We want them to leave Chemukute ready for university and equipped for the professional world.”

To strengthen academic responsibility, the School Development Committee (SDC) resolved that all boarders should buy their own textbooks, while the school continues to provide key reference and special subject books to support teaching and learning.

Parent Mrs Rumbidzayi Shumba, whose two children attend the school, praised the institution’s vision and leadership.

“As parents, we are impressed by how Chemukute balances discipline, technology, and character development,” she said. “Allowing learners to use laptops for study, while maintaining close supervision, shows that the school values both trust and responsibility. It’s the kind of progressive environment every parent wants.”

Beyond the classroom, Chemukute High is renowned for its commitment to sport, arts, and culture. Learners who excel in athletics, ball games, or performing arts are offered special support and recognition.

“We believe talent is part of education,” said the Sports Director. “When a learner shows potential in sport, we nurture it because excellence is not only academic.”

Looking to broaden its international reach, the school plans to introduce French and Chinese as new languages of study in 2026, a move expected to expand students’ cultural awareness and global communication skills.

Currently, Chemukute High offers ZIMSEC and HEXCO examinations, with plans already in motion to introduce Cambridge curricula in the near future.

“Our vision is to make Chemukute High a centre of excellence in both local and international education,” said Mr Mutangi. “We are preparing learners who can compete and contribute anywhere in the world.”

With a clear roadmap toward digital learning, global education, and holistic development, Chemukute High School is fast emerging as a beacon of innovation and transformation in Kadoma’s education sector ,a place where tradition meets technology, and every learner is inspired to excel. The school also ensures that boarders enjoy well-balanced nutrition, offering 14 meals per week that include three chicken dishes, four beef, two vegetable, two beans, two sour milk, and one sausage meal, reflecting its commitment to learners’ health and well-being alongside academic excellence.
