Kiambu Town Member of Parliament Machua Waithaka has commissioned several development projects at Ndumberi Primary School, saying the upgraded facilities will improve the quality of learning and provide a safer, more conducive environment for learners.
Speaking during the commissioning ceremony, attended by parents, teachers, students and local residents, Waithaka said investing in education infrastructure remains a priority in efforts to improve academic performance and prepare learners for the future.
The completed projects include the construction of additional classrooms, a modern Junior Secondary School (JSS) laboratory, installation of tiles in classrooms, replacement of blackboards, and fitting of new windows and doors.
The school has also benefited from the installation of solar panels to lower electricity costs, paving of the compound with cabro blocks, and construction of a perimeter wall and modern gate to enhance security.
“This transformation reflects our commitment to ensuring that every child has access to quality education in a modern and secure environment. These projects will not only improve academic standards but also instill pride among learners and teachers,” said Waithaka.
The MP also highlighted the operational Ndumberi ICT Hub, which offers digital skills training to young people in the area.
He encouraged learners and youth to enrol at the centre to acquire information and communication technology skills that would improve their competitiveness in the job market.
Waithaka reaffirmed his commitment to expanding education infrastructure across Kiambu Town Constituency, describing education as the most valuable investment for the community’s future.
Parents and teachers welcomed the projects, saying the new facilities would ease congestion, improve practical learning and create a more favourable learning environment.
They expressed optimism that the modern classrooms, science laboratory, ICT training opportunities and improved security would enhance academic performance and broaden opportunities for learners.
