Great news from Township School, a recent partner to Elimu and, as reported here in November, the largest public school in Nandi Hills.
Township had a mean score of 308 (the pass rate is 300) in the recent KCPE exams with a 56% pass rate in English.
Secondary school fees are beyond the reach of some students and their families but Township works very hard to help them achieve as much and as far as possible and it should be very proud of what it has achieved.
Anyone who works in education knows that often it feels like you are skimming the surface of an ocean, that your job is never done and merely grows to encompass more children, more experiences and more challenges which don't always match the number of obvious triumphs, even though they are there somewhere. They happen everyday.
Township is quietly becoming a leading light among the school population in Nandi Hills with its simple yet determined efforts to address everything from special educational needs and HIV/Aids awareness to child protection and the merits of an inclusive approach.
Each of the schools we are linked with has its own unique attributes and contributions to make and we look forward to developing those relationships over the coming year.
Good luck to all teachers and students for the first week back - one term down, two to go in the UK, and in Kenya, the start of a brand new academic year!
