This facility, consisting of 6 classrooms, a library and an ICT lab, will provide a conducive learning environment for students and teachers.
“In this latest milestone, we have now completed and handed over 17 storey tuition blocks across the constituency, reaffirming our commitment to education which remains a top priority,” said the MP.
To further support our students, we have introduced a subsidized lunch programme in all day secondary schools. Under this programme, learners now pay only Ksh. 1,000 per term for a nutritious and balanced meal, ensuring that they can focus on their studies without worrying about hunger.”
