All the eight Catholic schools attended the meeting which is\nalways graced by the Catholic Education Desk Officer, Mr Remmie Kamanga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the issues\ndiscussed during the meeting is the preparations for the impending visit of\ncounterparts from Njombe Diocese in Tanzania. Njombe Diocese and its education\ndepartment is much older and well established. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two dioceses are\npartners and would like to learn from each other especially in the education\nsector. The thirty visitors from Njombe Diocese are expected to arrive in\nKaronga within the early days of November and interact with the team of\nCatholic head teachers, visit schools and share issues of interest in education\nor running of Catholic schools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The meeting also had time\nto evaluate last year\u2019s mock examinations and made plans for the 2020 mock\nexaminations for both junior and senior levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Issues of Child\nProtection Policy, school internal audits, school supervision\/ inspection and in\nservice training (inset) for Catholic secondary schools were discussed at\nlength for the benefit of administrators and learners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Catholic Head\nteachers Association has been in existence since the creation of the Diocese of\nKaronga and it is a branch of the Education Desk which falls under the Caritas\nCommission.
