A pond project at a public school in Kakamega County is working wonders. Thanks to five fish ponds at Ingotse Secondary School, agriculture is now seen as the in thing.
“Since the project started in 2011, the number of students taking agriculture as a subject has gone up. We are seeing a radical shift in subject selection because of these ponds. It is like all students want to take up agriculture as their choice subject. The ponds make agriculture fun,” Bramuel Wasike, an agriculture teacher at the school, says.
