Chinhoyi Technical High School Showcases Innovation at Agricultural Show, Aligning with Education 5.0 Vision

CHINHOYI — Chinhoyi Technical High School took centre stage at the Chinhoyi Agricultural Show this week, with Vice President Courtney Fazila leading the school’s exhibition of goods and services produced on campus.

The show, held from 3 to 8 August, provided the school with a platform to display the practical outcomes of its learning programmes to the public and stakeholders.

Among the products on display were Pietas Bread, buns, and a range of other goods consumed within the school. The exhibits highlighted the institution’s capacity for in-house production and value addition.

A major crowd puller was the art exhibition, which featured works ranging from realism to abstract art. The display was complemented by a live basket weaving demonstration by Tadiwanashe Zimunya, showcasing traditional craft skills alongside contemporary artistic expression.

Speaking at the stand, school officials said the participation was in line with Education 5.0, the national framework that emphasizes teaching, learning, research, innovation, and community service.

“Exhibiting here allows our learners to apply classroom knowledge to real products and services,” a school representative said. “It also connects the school to the community and industry.”

Education 5.0 seeks to move institutions beyond teaching to include research outputs, innovation, and direct community impact. The school’s presence at the agricultural show, officials noted, demonstrates how technical education can contribute to economic activity and national development.

The Chinhoyi Agricultural Show ran for six days and brought together schools, farmers, businesses, and government departments to exhibit products and engage the public.
