Education stakeholders have lauded the County Government of Mombasa for well-thought-out interventions in the education sector that have bolstered performance in KCSE.

Governor Abdulswamad Nassir's administration initiated a raft of measures geared towards enhancing candidates' performance in national examinations.

Nassir pioneered a mentorship programme during school holidays aimed at keeping students away from indecorous behaviour, distributing revision materials, and feeding during examinations.

In the mentorship programme, Form Four students receive a daily stipend of Sh150 for transport and lunch while Sh250 is saved to pay for their school fees when school reopens.
