The first TVET centre in The Gambia
Crab Island Secondary School has been one of the most outstanding and popular schools in its heydays, not only in the capital city of Banjul but the Gambia as a whole, as many students from all over the country, who are now responsible members of society, had passed through this educational institution.
It is the first TVET centre in The Gambia supporting school drop outs, adult learners and backway returnees from Europe to learn new skills and things that will help them have sustainable living in The Gambia
The school was closed down in 2012 and was deeply missed by many, particularly those who passed through it as students and teachers. However, with the vision, sense of mission and great leadership of Honourable Ousman Sillah, former National Assembly Member (NAM) for Banjul North Constituency and support from his dynamic team and partners, it has now been restored to a national vocational education and training centre for hard and soft skills.
