Learners at Kapkitony Mixed Secondary School in Marakwet West are set to enjoy improved learning in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects once the construction of a science laboratory is completed.
Area MP Timothy Kipchumba reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening education infrastructure in line with the Competency-Based Education (CBE) framework.
“I am very intentional in my leadership to ensure that our projects in the constituency are aligned with Competency-Based Education, particularly focusing on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM),” said Kipchumba.
Speaking during an inspection tour of the project, the legislator noted that the laboratory will benefit not only Kapkitony Mixed Secondary School but also learners from nearby institutions.

“Due to the limited resources available, this facility shall, in the meantime, be utilised by the neighbouring Kapkitony Comprehensive School. This will ensure equitable access to practical learning resources as we continue to improve school infrastructure,” he added.
Mr. Kipchumba lauded teachers and parents for their continued collaboration in supporting education, emphasizing that investment in science facilities would enhance learners’ creativity, innovation, and practical competence.
Kapkitony Mixed Secondary School Principal Jeremiah Kiptoo expressed gratitude for the project, terming it a timely boost to the school’s academic growth.
“This laboratory will go a long way in helping our students grasp scientific concepts through hands-on experiments. It will greatly enhance performance in national examinations and nurture learners’ interest in STEM careers,” he said.
