Pupils at Nakabosan
boarding primary school in Turkana South walk 7km in search of water for their
daily use.
The poor academic
performance at Nakabosan boarding primary school is associated with the enormous
challenges facing the school. Speaking during an interview at Nakabosan primary
school the senior teacher Mr. Evans Kipsegero said the
poor academic performance in the school, is due to the enormous challenges
including lack of water, low teacher pupil ratio, insufficient classrooms and
lack of lighting.
Mr. Kipsegero said,
‘Standard one to three use one class and they only have one teacher teaching them. Pupils
come to class up to lunch time and walk seven Kilometers in search of water for
their daily use, cooking supper and lunch the following’’.
The senior teacher said
that Learning at Nakabosan School takes place half a day. Pupils go to class
from morning to noon and there after break in search of water that is used for
bathing, preparing super and lunch the following day.
He added that the
school has four teachers employed by T.S.C against the school population of three
hundred pupils. Class one, two and three are taught by one teacher.
In terms of infrastructure Mr. Kipsegero
maintained that it is a challenge since class one two and three learn under the
same roof. Class one on one row class two on the other and three the other respectively. This possesses a challenge to their teacher
in terms of class control. Standard four is used as a classroom, boy’s
dormitory and store at the same time. The class teacher says that children get
injuries as they climb on the scraps that are kept at the back of their class
room.
The senior teacher
claims that despite the fact that area member of county assembly was a deputy
head teacher in the school he has not done anything to his former school so far.
“The area member of the
county assembly was the deputy teacher here but has never helped in anyway”.
Said Mr. Kipsegero.
