Background

The department of education in the Catholic Diocese of Tombura-Yambio started in the early 80s; this office was established to coordinate all educational activities taking place in the Diocese. It falls under the diocesan development office. For many years the department of education existed, however, given the limited education institutions the diocese managed, it was almost not functioning.

Ever since early 90s due to the change of wind in the politics of our Country we have witnessed a number of new diocesan education institutions increasing. This necessitated the re-creation of the diocesan education department under the care of a Diocesan Education Secretary.

The diocesan education department is concerned with offering a holistic Catholic inspired education to Catholic Diocese of Tombura-Yambio constituents. Due to historical issues, there is limited education capacity in the diocese as seen in the limited infrastructure, wanting education systems as well as quality of education.
