“We are remained with the floor and we are sure that girls will sleep in these hostels,” assures Phillipo Makina who is the foreman for the builders.
Laison Msamala, the head of Plumbing section says with confidence that the ablution block that will have 10 bathrooms and 7 toilets once completed will also be ready before the students arrive.
This academic year, AEI will have a record number of students as the Secondary school is expected to have all the four classes unlike last academic year when it had only Forms 1 to 3.
The new hostel will accommodate eighty girls and this will give a chance to many a girl to be in a boarding school.
