The opening ceremony coincided with an ongoing Special Programmes mission aimed at delivering essential relief support to vulnerable families affected by prolonged drought and economic hardships.

The new block now offers a fully furnished head teacher’s office, staffroom, boardroom and records centre, marking a transformative milestone for the school.
Ruku emphasized that creating quality learning environments is a non-negotiable priority for the government, especially in frontier counties where education remains a critical pillar for socio-economic transformation.
