CEC Education, Linner Nkirote has said her department is committed to ensure the construction of the new ECDE Classrooms allocated by the MCAs through Ward Fund, as well as completion of the old projects is effected by end year.

Nkirote who was accompanied by her Chief Officer, Haron Kanathi, Director VTCs, Gladys Ngare, Subcounty Education Officer, Stephen Murithi and Phineas Kang'ote, Subcounty Admin, during an assessment of Kaongo Ka Mukalamatu primary school ECDE class in Karama and impact analysis of both ECDE milk and Competence Based Curriculum designs, affirmed that most of the 2017/18 projects will be complete by December this year.

In collaboration with the Monitoring unit and Public Works, Education department had earlier this year made an inspection tour of all the projects across the County, ascertaining the resources required for their completion.

The school's ECDE teacher, Salome Mwenda, thanked the Government for a remarkable change on the kid's school retention and comprehension as witnessed since receipt of the learning materials, and Milk as well.

Initially, the class had an enrolment of between 10- 15, while the population is currently at 40 young learners.

The Headteacher, Bernard Muriki, equally said the school was earlier neglected due to the area's sparse population, until the County's intervention through Ward Fund. He said the kids have been learning under tree, adding that the completion of the new classroom will be a big boost to the early childhood learning.
