Kapsenetwet Primary School in Chemosot Ward, Bureti Sub-county, Kericho County, has strengthened its Junior School infrastructure following the completion of a new Grade 8 classroom worth Sh1.2 million, a development expected to improve the learning environment, reduce overcrowding and support the implementation of Competency-Based Education (CBE).
The newly constructed classroom has a capacity of 60 learners and is expected to ease pressure on the school’s existing facilities. Kapsenetwet Primary currently has an enrolment of 480 learners.
The project was fully financed by Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot. In addition, plans are in place to establish a resource centre at the school to improve access to teaching and learning materials for both teachers and learners.
Speaking during the commissioning ceremony, Senator Cheruiyot said continued investment in school infrastructure is essential for the successful rollout of CBE.
“Providing learners with a conducive learning environment enables them to actively participate in classroom activities and achieve better learning outcomes,” Cheruiyot said.
Chemosot Ward MCA Anita Biegon, who also attended the event, noted that the additional classroom would help decongest existing learning spaces, improve classroom management and enhance lesson delivery, especially for Grade 8 learners.
She urged the school administration, parents and learners to take good care of the new facility to ensure it serves both current and future generations.
Community welcomes project
Parents and members of the local community welcomed the project, saying it would create a better learning environment while accommodating the school’s growing enrolment.
They said improved infrastructure would enhance the quality of teaching and learning, facilitate effective implementation of Competency-Based Education (CBE) and contribute to improved academic performance.
