Tharaka Nithi County Director of Education (CDE) Ms.

Bridget Wambua has associated the dwindling enrolment of learners in public schools to the declining number of children being born while the schools remained many and close together.

Responding to media reports about Nyagakairu primary school in the county that is at the verge of closing down due to low enrolment, the CDE said several public schools including some day secondary schools have quite low learners at the moment.
