Banani International Secondary School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Banani International Secondary School is an international girls' secondary school (grades 8-12) in Banani, Zambia. It is a non-profit institution and follows the principals of the Bahá'í Faith, although students of all religious backgrounds are admitted. It was created by the William Mmutle Masetlha Foundation and the decision to make it an all-girl school was made because the level of girls' partipation in secondary education fell below that of boys. The staff come from many areas, including North America, the UK, India, and various African countries.
