A report presented to the Education Cabinet Secretary Dr Fred Matiang'i by the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) in partnership with Education International, indicated that primary schools under the Bridge International Schools 'banner' have been providing low standard learning to pupils.
The report says the institution employees unqualified teachers, who end up producing half-backed candidates at the end of the primary school level.
Speaking when he presented the report to the Cabinet Secretary, Knut secretary general Wilson Sossion said there has been complaints from the public about the schools, prompting detailed investigations.
Dr Matiang'i assured that his Ministry had already started investigating the schools countrywide, and woild be meeting its owners over the same, now that the report had been received.
"We have been in talks with officials of these schools, to try and find out how they offer their curriculum. Now that this report is here, it will simplify everything. What we want is to ensure our children get quality education,'' Matiang'i said, Monday.
Bridge International Schools is owned by foreign investors. The schools are widely found in slum areas and in villages in rural areas., and offers learning from lower primary to upper primary.
The Ugandan government recently ordered for the closure of the schools in the Country, citing its curriculum and health standards.
Matiang'i received the report at the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD), Nairobi.
