Kisumu Governor Jack Ranguma has said that an extra stream will be added to two national schools in the county to accommodate more students who performed well.
Speaking during the donation of 300 books at Jaralam Academy Hall in Kisumu, Governor Ranguma said that funds will be allocated to build more streams in Maseno School and Kisumu Girls school to enrol more students.
Recently the Maseno High school managed to admit only six students from Kisumu County while Kisumu Girls High school admitted 20 students from the county.
"We can build the streams through harambee, alternatively we can allocate funds. I am aware education is a responsibility of the National government, but my government will still help because education is one of the key pillars in my government," said Ranguma.
Ranguma also said that by next year additional streams will be available in Kisumu Girls and Maseno High school to accommodate more students, six and 20 is quite a small number considering that the schools are within this county.
Ranguma urged Jaralam Academy students to consider discipline as the key factor to success.
