For the first time, so many stakeholders were involved in shaping the future of the Institution. The fact that the conference resulted in the creation of a new Vision, Mission and Core values so as to produce “learners who serve as role models in a vibrant community through lifelong learning opportunities” gave Shura a clear sense of direction.
