South Mugirango constituency residents have called upon the government to build more education centers so that the level of education can rise in the area.
The community is now questioning the implementation of the policy after it turned out that they were supposed to meet the expenses for learning infrastructure in such schools.
Under the Economic Stimulus Program, the government intended to build, develop and equip a model school in every constituency to improve academic standards.
According to Nduru girls principal Grace Oduor twenty per cent of the parents who thought the institution was fully government-funded, were being sensitized towards supporting the school’s infrastructural development.
Nduru girls’ high school in South Mugirango constituency is one of the schools whose challenges included inadequate classrooms, lack of a library and a multi-purpose hall among others. The principals urged the parents not to expect assistance from the government or the local CDF kitty but make efforts to equip the school that had assumed a national outlook in terms of enrollment.
On school fees payment difficulties faced by some orphaned students, Oduor said that there is an on-going program in which their guardians perform manual labor work to off-set the fees balances.
Speaking during a function to recognize the 2014 KCSE candidates who excelled in the exam today, ProfessorConstantine Nyamboga said plans to raise funds in aid of the school were in top gear.
Nyamboga who is a Board of Management member said that 70 candidates from the school qualified to join public universities. He challenged the current form four students to go in for a mean score of 10 and avoid temptations to engage in risky early sexual relations, indiscipline and drugs.
