A mid-term review conducted in 13 counties, including West Pokot, Trans Nzoia, Turkana, and Kajiado, has revealed that over 11,000 classrooms for Junior Secondary Schools will be completed much earlier than expected.
The Ministry of Education officials have stated that most schools identified in phase one of the project have made remarkable progress based on the plan and completion date.
Basic Education Principal Secretary, Dr. Belio Kipsang, said a total of 16,000 classrooms will be constructed across the country, where 11000 will be put up by the Ministry of Education while five thousand classrooms will be constructed through the National Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF).
The review team from the Ministry of Education and development partners commended the pace of the construction work and were confident that most schools will meet expectations. However, they discouraged laxity and poor workmanship.
โWe are reviewing the work done but we urge you to share your views and challenges because we need the best in this project,โ Mr. Walter Agwaro, a director in the Ministry of Education, urged the school heads whose schools have the ongoing projects.
The team noted that progress in Trans Nzoia County was impressive, with one of the schools, Namanjalala Primary and Junior School, already complete and the contractor working on the final touches of three classrooms meant for Grade 9.
