Here is a permanent solution to improve school performance

Our candidates are always scared when national exams are around the corner as they feel inadequately prepared. We can say they should take their studies more seriously but then again, with our teachers striking every now and then due to payment wrangles, who can blame them. It’s therefore upon us as education stakeholders to ensure, even though this sector experiences countless challenges, our children do not pay for it with poor performance.  With adoption of a mentorship program we will ensure good results.

There is a practical approach adopted by the County of Taita Taveta to improve the counties performance. The initiative is called, Adopt a School.
