Turkana region has been ranked among the regions which are in emergencies in the education sector. Speaking today at st. Augustin's cathedral hall, during the forum of the stake holders from the education sector, the coordinator of the NGOs and government Mr. Charles Karumba, said that this contributed to their focus in this region. He noted that Turkana is one of the poorest school enrollment with only 35%, compared to the national level of 105%. Karumba was surprised that a lot of funds have been pumped in the region, but with no precise results. He said that he cannot blame the community, since they are only to receive services but cash money. This forum brought together stake holders from the education sector and NGOs which have direct link to education.
