A national school has taken initiatives to tackle fees challenges among learners from poor family background to retain instead of sending them home.
This was in with the school’s policy to excel in national examination performance by ensuring uninterrupted learning by the students some who could be absent for lack of fees.
The Nyambaria national school students experiencing fees payment difficulties have something to smile courtesy of sponsorship from stakeholders and donors solicited by the board of management.
As the learning institution reopened for the third term, deputy principal, Onesmus Ong’uti clarified the school engaged parents and guardians on how to settle fees payment without disrupting their children’s lessons.
According to Ong’uti, the initiatives involving the alumni,foundations and well-wishers have worked and improved the school’s national examination mean score.
In last year’s KCSE,the school attained a mean score of 9.3 with almost all the candidates being admitted to universities. A mean score of 10 was targeted for this year.
The over 2,700 enrolled school was prepared in infrastructural development to receive double intake of students from two curriculums.
Fifteen classrooms have been completed while five others were expected to be ready by January 2023 to accommodate a total of 1008 form one learners.
The deputy principal cited land limitation as a major constraint for the school’s expansion and remarked, storey building system had been embraced as one the solutions.
Ong’uti thanked the government for putting up four CBC classrooms.
