Thika residents will soon have a reason to smile after Member of Parliament Alice Ng’ang’a promised to establish a girls secondary school which will be opened on February next year.
Thika girls’ school is said to benefit area residents who will be prioritized whereby in every stream, one class will be purely Thika students.
The area has been without a public girls secondary school and the residents had raised concern over their children schooling in different counties thus parents cannot monitor their education effectively.
The school which is set to be established in Ngoliba in Gatuanyaga ward, Thika west sub county will have three streams and the cutting pass mark for KCPE will be 350 marks and above.
According to MP through her representative Eng. Robert Kang’ethe she said that her main objective is to support education at various clusters citing the recent Thika Education Trust Fund that benefited needy bright students in her constituency.
“The cut pass mark will be 350 marks and above and Thika residents will mostly benefit from the project that will see one stream accommodating Thika constituency students,” He said.
The legislator revealed that in every class, she will sponsor a bright needy student to validate her dream up to university level.
She added that Kianjau Primary School in Kiandutu will mostly benefit and all girls who will score pleasing marks will automatically join the school with all school fees being catered for.
The law maker said that by the time her term in office expires, she will have delivered on matter of education according to her manifesto.
The engineer Kangethe was speaking on Friday in Thika Municipal stadium during the celebration of Mashujaa day.
