The College exists to serve its defined region and its
constituent communities. For that reason, it provides,

through its curriculum and facilities, opportunities for the

College to be a major community centre for:

iii. cultural, and

iv. social activities.

 

 

 

 

Facilities are developed in consultation with local govern-
ments and community groups.

The College views the development of a society of self-

teachers as the ultimate goal of organized learning. It

therefore works to lessen the dependence of students on the
College as an institution.
