CLEARING FOR NEW SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL

   

Finally, Nata Village is going to have a Senior Secondary School. The bush has been cleared. In two or three years students from Nata village and the serounding villages are going to have their own Senior Secondary Shool In Nata. Students from Nata used to attend school in Maun 300km, Francistown, Tutume, Masunga, and Shashe 200km away, This made it difficult for parents to visit the School when ever there were meetings because of transport and accomodation. So life is going to change for the better we hope.
