Luveve Secondary School is a government school in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. It was established in 1959 as a multi-racial technical college, but later became a secondary school for black students as the technical college was producing too many black technicians in competition to the white technicians. There are no racial barriers anymore.
This school was started as a Technical Teacher Training College around 1959.
It was built to train black Africans in technical trades with a view to them returning to their homelands to teach their peers the trades that they had learned. At that time only the staff were multi-racial, the majority being white, some local, but many brought in on special contracts from the UK.
The main trades taught were: Brickwork, Plastering, Painting and Decorating, Carpentry and Joinery, Motor Engineering, Electrical, Plumbing, Engineering (Machining).

Famous quotes containing the words secondary and/or school:
“Readers are less and less seen as mere non-writers, the subhuman “other” or flawed derivative of the author; the lack of a pen is no longer a shameful mark of secondary status but a positively enabling space, just as within every writer can be seen to lurk, as a repressed but contaminating antithesis, a reader.”
—Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)
“Parental attitudes have greater correlation with pupil achievement than material home circumstances or variations in school and classroom organization, instructional materials, and particular teaching practices.”
—Children and Their Primary Schools, vol. 1, ch. 3, Central Advisory Council for Education, London (1967)
