West Mugirango Member of Parliament (MP), Stephen Mogaka, has officially opened a tuition
block and two ultra- modern fully equipped science labs to provide ample nurturing and
learning environment for students at Nyakeore Secondary School in Nyamira County.
During the occasion, Mogaka emphasized that education is the only equalizer in a society where gaping economic disparities between the rich and the poor are outrightly discriminative in our communities and in the country as a whole.
“Am striving to ensure that students within my constituency have equal opportunities in
accessing quality education because only then can they compete both locally and globally for job
opportunities and any other opportunities which will enable them improve and transform their lives and at the same time salvage their homes from reeling economic struggles they are currently grappling with,” the MP assured.
“The only weapon you can use at the moment to conquer a bleak future filled with
myriads of uncertainties is education. Ensure you score excellent grades to enable you proceed to
university or college to pursue your dream careers to give you an opportunity to compete for the limited job opportunities with your counterparts from well to do families eyeing the same
posts.” Mogaka advised.
The Legislator confirmed that he has allocated sufficient funds to ensure the institution
constructs enough spacious classrooms, adequately equipped science laboratories, timely
disbursement of bursary to ensure no learner will be sent home for due to school fees arrears and
they challenged them not to give any excuse on why they should not excel in their final secondary examination.
He told the students to make use of their teachers by consulting them regularly on subjects and topics which are a bit challenging especially mathematics, sciences and languages because they are qualified and have vast experience on their areas of specialization to boost their
performance.
“The future needs resilient people who will have ability to endure various life situations
and those who can quickly comprehend and learn skills fast. You there have an opportunity to be
that kind of a person who can quickly cope, learn and execute tasks excellently with minimum
supervision,” Mogaka emphasized.
Nyakeore Secondary School Principal, Charles Omosa was very grateful for the area
MP’s support to ensure the school’s infrastructural is upgraded to offer quality learning environment for the enrolled of students in the Senior Secondary School (SSS) level which commenced at the start of this year.
“Word spread like bush fire that our school is constructing and equipping two science labs and a storey tuition block which has given us a new face. This alone has been a great motivation to the entire school community. We are now being recognized among those schools which can comfortably host over 1000 students without fear of overcrowding,” the principal happily announced.
Mr. Omosa promised that they will ensure students from Nyakeore will be among the top
candidates when results will be released not just in this county but nationally because they have
been empowered.
