Building Technology and Design is one of three practical subjects being taught at Pakati, alongside Agriculture, and Fashion & Fabrics.
Here in the lesson in the photos, Form 4 students (GCSE year), students are learning to raise and construct walls of buildings, so that when they finish school they can be attached to professionals within the community to build houses.
The main aim of this practical work is to teach the students how to use tools such as spirit levels, trowels and shovels. They are gaining skills which may set them on a useful career path.
