Residents of Bosmamaro Masaba in Nyamira County have been urged to avoid clan conflicts and instead support initiatives aimed at improving education standards in the area.
This appeal was made by Nyamira South Sub County Deputy County Commissioner, Florence Obunga while presiding over a public baraza in the Bosamaro Masaba location in a bid to revitalise education standards which have greatly dwindled in the recent past. "Communities where learning institutions exist build and sustain admirable education standards in their areas if they have good will and proper coordination and collaboration or the same community, on the contrary, totally jeopardises education standards due to unwarranted clannism tussles," DCC Obunga stated.
She pointed out that leadership where there is poor stakeholder engagement and coordination, such institutions definitely record very poor performance because of a lack of a proper direction on the objective of providing education. "Community members of Bosamaro Masasba identified a serious need in the education sector and proposed initiation of Riamandere Secondary school because their children used to walk very long distances to access a secondary school.
The government fully supported that initiative and agreed to register a school which has adequate infrastructure for day school learners, deployed teachers and assisted in formulating a board of management to run the school." The officer narrated.
