In order to ensure maximum safety, at the gate all sudents pass through metal detectors and frisked for security reasons. The guards also take your temperature for health and safety reasons due to the prevailing Covid-19 pandemic then a few meters from there you’ll find some sinks with soap to wash your hands before heading to class. In most courses the school will provide any equipment needed for you to study and also it has a computer room block with WiFi running on every computer to assist the students who need the computer for research and learning purposes.

The cons of the school is one has to walk for long distances to for some processes like applying to join the school, going to the school bank and hostels. There is no convenient transportation to different places and the application process takes a lot of time to do.
