Meki Catholic School (MCS)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Meki Catholic School is a school in Meki, Oromia Region, Ethiopia.

The economical background of the society has kept the school to depend on subsidies from the Vicariate of Meki Catholic Church.

MCS has been run by the Brothers of the Christian Schools, an international congregation of religious men who are qualified educators - called for giving human and Christian education to the poor as a mission, since 1989, and owned by the Vicariate of Meki Catholic Church. The school is divided into two sections: primary and secondary. Currently, the demands of enrollment of the students are very high.

MCS still remains as the only Senior High School in the area. At present the School has 1,385 boys and girls from grades 1 through 12 (P2). All four De La Salle Brothers and two Sister work in the School with lay staff of 67. It has the largest campus of the four schools (St. Joseph Addis, St Joseph Nazareth and Bisrate Gabriel in Dira Dewa) the Brothers run in Ethiopia.

MCS has been trying to respond some of the needs of the Students in the area of education. However, the school is economically paralyzed. This school has been the only senior high school that serves more than 200, 000 people in the area with a radius of 30 km.
