Gender,Inclusivity &Wellness

The institution recognizes the need to foster gender balance and inclusivity, improving access to facilities and services to all students especially to the disadvantaged and at times vulnerable members of the student body such the girl child, and students with disability. To this end the institution has appointed a Gender, Wellness and Inclusivity Chairperson,Committee and Sub-committees. They also work to identify students who are at risk of discontinuing their studies because of financial challenges and seek ways and means through which they can be assisted. This is in response to His Excellency’s call to leave no place and no one behind
