This Is a BSI College...

The foundation stone of the Teacher Train ing and Vocational Centre at Kukum (a worthy project for expanding educational facilities for Solomon Islanders, and training natives as artisans), was laid in mid-1955.

But, although houses for the College teach ing staff were built over a year ago, the College itself has never grown beyond its foundation stone. Nor are there any teachers.

The foundation stone (pictured above) is rapidly becoming overgrown with grass and weeds and stands as a dismal mounment to the numerous worthwhile projects which have been shelved, delayed, and forgotten, for one reason or another, in recent years.
