Petros Chikava

A seasoned and visionary education leader with over 15 years’ experience as a School Principal and 26 years as a Business Studies educator, I bring a wealth of expertise in both academic leadership and classroom instruction. I have successfully led schools offering both Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) and National Senior Certificate (NSC) curricula, driving high academic performance and operational excellence.

During my tenure, I spearheaded transformative growth at my current institution, achieving an 78% increase in student enrolment and infrastructure development within just two years, while consistently delivering high matric pass rates through strategic academic interventions and a culture of excellence.

My leadership is underpinned by a strong academic foundation, holding a:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Educational Administration, Planning and Policy Studies
• Diploma in Education (Technical and Vocational Education)
• Diploma in Biblical Studies and Church Leadership
• National Certificate in Secretarial Studies

I possess well-honed skills in:

• School governance and strategic planning
• Curriculum management and assessment coordination
• Financial oversight and resource mobilisation
• Staff recruitment, development, and retention
• Student behaviour management
• Parent and stakeholder engagement
• Faith-based leadership and values-driven decision-making

My passion lies in nurturing inclusive, high-performing educational environments where learners thrive academically, socially, and spiritually. I am results-oriented, collaborative, and fully committed to continuous improvement and excellence in education.

I am available to assume a new leadership role immediately and am eager to contribute to a forward-thinking institution that values integrity, innovation, and growth.
