Out of the 61 schools both public and private in Mwea West Sub- County 10 have failed to qualify to host Junior Secondary school class come January 31.

Area Director of Education Apollo Kigaga however said children from the affected schools will be accommodated in the schools  within the neighbourhood.

Briefing the media after an inspection of the Kutus Municipality Boarding Primary school this morning , Kigaga said no child from  the area will miss a place to join the Junior Secondary class .

“In  this sub-county we have 2500  available vacancies for the Junior Secondary  against  the 2300 children who are due to transit to new class under the  CBC program , “the officer said.

He said the school he had  just inspected was among those  passed to host the Junior Secondary in the area  since it had the required  basic infrastructure  , qualified teachers and a science laboratory.

Added the officer “ we were also looking at the available land where these schools  have been established to ensure the acreage was the prescribed  one for the new CBC program,”.

School head teacher Cancun Karanja   assured parents his team of colleagues and the entire administration was ready to host the Junior Secondary class come Jan 31.

Karanja said the school administration had also put in place a modern  science laboratory besides classes and dormitories for  students wishing to be boarders.

“We  have classes to host the prescribed 45  leaners and even more space for others whose  schools were not   able to meet the required standards to host the junior secondary  class,”he said .
