The ongoing classroom renovation programme has marked a significant milestone in improving education infrastructure across schools in Kipkelion East, with learners, teachers and parents welcoming the initiative as a major step towards providing quality learning environments.
The programme, which focuses on renovating classrooms to meet modern educational standards, has seen schools receive upgraded facilities, including repaired roofs, reinforced walls, improved flooring, new windows and fresh painting. The renovations are expected to create safer, cleaner and more conducive learning environments that support improved academic performance.
Among the schools that have benefited is Kedowa Primary School, where the renovated classrooms have brought renewed hope to learners, teachers and parents. Community members say the transformation has greatly improved the school’s appearance while providing pupils with a more comfortable environment for learning.
Speaking during the inspection of the renovated classrooms on 21st May, The Constituency Development Fund (CDF) Officer, said the programme demonstrates the government’s commitment to strengthening education through improved infrastructure. “Providing learners with safe and dignified classrooms is an investment in the future of our constituency. These renovations will improve teaching and learning while creating an environment where every child has the opportunity to excel academically. We remain committed to supporting projects that uplift our schools and our communities,” said Dennis Langat.
Nickolas Kirui, representing the local Community-Based Organization (CBO), applauded the programme, saying the improvements would have a lasting impact on education in the constituency. “A conducive learning environment is essential for quality education. Schools like Kedowa Primary School demonstrate how infrastructure investment can transform the learning experience for our children. We appreciate the efforts of all stakeholders involved and encourage continued support for similar projects across the constituency.
Parents whose children attend Kedowa Primary School also welcomed the renovations. “The difference is remarkable. Our children are now studying in classrooms that are clean, safe and comfortable. They are more motivated to attend school and concentrate on their studies. This programme has positively changed the future of our children,” said Jack Kemei one parent .
Education stakeholders believe that continued investment in school infrastructure will improve academic performance, reduce absenteeism and ensure that learners across the constituency study in environments that meet modern educational standards. As more schools continue to benefit from the classroom renovation programme, residents remain optimistic that the initiative will strengthen the education sector and provide future generations with the facilities they need to succeed.
