Reports by the school’s Dean of Studies Frank Odayo indicate that the school has 83 candidates with Grade A, 94 A minuses,47 B+ ,17 B and 16 B minuses which helped raise the school’s performance in last year’s examination results.
County Education CeC Jennifer Kere said that the county government was proud of Maseno School’s performance and encouraged teachers to borrow a leaf from the school.
“Maseno has been making us proud during the release of results and we can attribute this to a dedicated teaching staff and hardworking students. I want to ask other schools to raise their standards so that we can have more schools from Kisumu in the top bracket,” said Kere.
Kere said that the county government was going to award some of the best achievers in the county together with teachers who recorded good performances in their subjects.
Speaking to this writer in Kisumu today, Kere said that her ministry was going to donate textbooks to all schools in the county.
