| dbo:abstract | The Stuyvenberg Rural Training Centre (abbreviated "Stuyvenberg RTC") is a rural boarding centre of vocational education by the Society of Mary, located on the north coast of eastern Makira in Solomon Islands. It aims to provide skills to standard six school–leavers to be used in the rural area, or to assist standard six and form three school-leavers in their future career planning. Agriculture comprises most of its education. The centre was founded by the Dutch Marist Fr. George Vanderzant in 1991, when there were 25 students. It is located in Na'ana, situated on fertile coastal land, an extensive food plain of the Weinagho (and others), and is located close to a natural water sources, such as the Weinagho and other rivers. A 2010 source noted that, due to a lack of electricity was not available at the centre, neither via a generator, nor via water or solar power. Therefore, the centre does not have computers. At that time, electricity and internet access were at a travelling distance of 2.5 hours (which is also the time needed for travel between the centre and Kirakira by canoe). The mentioned source noted that the centre encompassed 92 students. In 2009, it was noted that there were over a hundred. In 1998, the construction of an airport was started. (en) |
