Katsumwe Community Day Secondary School

Katsumwe Community Day Secondary School is a community day secondary school near Mkaika in Nkhotakota District, in Malawi's Central Region. Mkaika is a trading centre south of Nkhotakota town. A 2022 Ministry of Education environmental and social management plan places the Mkaika area in Traditional Authority Mwadzama, and the Malawi Electoral Commission's 2025 register of centres lists Mkaika F.P. School as a polling centre in the Kasangadzi ward of the Nkhotakota Mkhula constituency. Community day secondary schools (CDSS) are government day schools that grew out of the former distance-education centres, which were converted into secondary schools in 1998. Secondary education in Malawi runs from Form 1 to Form 4 and ends with the Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE), set by the Malawi National Examinations Board (MANEB). Nkhotakota town, the district headquarters, is one of the main ports on Lake Malawi. It is associated with David Livingstone's nineteenth-century meeting with Jumbe, the local ruler and slave trader, under a tree that still stands at a mission in the town. The district also contains the Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve. The school has not published a telephone number, fees, term dates or admission arrangements online.
