School in Makueni needs additional classroom to accommodate Grade 9 learners

The government has been urged to consider adding more Grade 9 classrooms due to expected influx of the learners.

Speaking during the resumption of Term One academic year, Principal of AIC Malivani Comprehensive School Joshua Mutuse appreciated the government for constructing two classrooms for them but still noted that they need one more for smooth learning.

“For those in Grade 9 we target to enroll 120 and currently we have 105. We expect the number to rise since many parents are coming to secure space,” said the headteacher.
