New Era College proudly bids farewell to Professor Amos Thapisa, a remarkable leader whose vision, dedication, and resilience transformed our institution. From his early days as a Board Member at New Era Unified Secondary School to becoming Council Member, Chairman, Vice President, and eventually CEO, Professor Thapisa’s leadership has left an indelible mark.
Under his guidance, New Era grew from offering just a few City & Guilds programs to a thriving institution with 25 accredited programs across four faculties, all benchmarked against global standards. His tireless efforts secured recognition from BQA and ERB and expanded learning opportunities through HRDC-approved short courses — creating pathways for countless students to succeed.
To honor his incredible legacy, the Professor Amos Thapisa Scholarship has been established and will be awarded annually to one deserving student, ensuring that his name and contributions continue to inspire generations to come.
On behalf of our faculty, staff, and students, we extend our deepest gratitude to Professor Thapisa for his unwavering commitment, visionary leadership, and the lasting impact he has made on the New Era College community. His legacy lives on in every student who walks through our doors and in the story of our institution
