Students in a class.[Photo/the-star.co.ke]All pupils in Class One and Two will from Tuesday be given mathematics textbooks.
This is under a new Government programme meant to improve competency in the subject.
The Ministry of Education has distributed 7.6 million textbooks for the two classes to all schools as the First Term begins.
The last phase of 2.8 million textbooks for the 2018 Class One cohort were dispatched to schools last month under the early grade mathematics programme.
The programme seeks to have a 1:1 pupil-text book ratio.
The programme was initiated under the Primary Education Development (PRIEDE) project.
It aims at improving student's competency in mathematics at an early age. I
ts implementation coincides with the Ministry of Education’s direct-to-school textbook supply which starts next month in all national schools.
