Othaya Member of Parliament, Wambugu Wainaina, has lauded the Masomo Bora education program sponsored by the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) for expanding access to education by residents.
Addressing day secondary school principals over the weekend, Wainaina said the program caters for tuition fees for day school students where they only pay Sh1000 per term and the NG-CDF pays Sh7, 000, which will be increased to Sh8000 this year, for smooth running of the schools. "Masomo bora" is not just a slogan, it's a call to action.
Our children deserve every opportunity to stay in school and access quality education from primary through to secondary school and beyond," Wambugu told teachers, parents, and students.
The "Masomo bora" initiative, a nationwide program aimed at reducing dropout rates and supporting children's continued education, has been a priority for Wambugu, who believes it is essential for the development of the entire community.
