He encouraged learners to fully participate in cocurricular activities adding that they are very critical and key in CBE implementation.

“Sports itself is a career and it makes learners’ mind to be alert in class besides other benefits,” Miriti said.

He however lamented of the challenging terrain of Kilungi, which he said doesn’t allow players to have the right pitches.

“Our fields don’t have the standards needed. Climate here is very cold and our children still get challenged when playing outside in hot climate,” Miriti said.

He added that enough finance is needed to motivate teams and coaches to oversee the activities..
