CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF TANGA

Kongei Secondary School

In 1990’s the Village of Kongei and nearby Villages, were facing the problem of having no secondary school. The idea was developed, and the part of the Kongei primary school was handed back to the Church for secondary school. This idea materialized because the Church agreed to build another primary school for the Kongei primary school. In 1995 the school started with form one where in 1998 had the first form IV. The school is still under renovation and expansion.
