Education
Provision of education services is overseen by the Education Department. Our education services cover nursery, primary, secondary, special education and technical education. Funding for services is mainly by Government, parents and partners.
Since 2002, we have been providing Universal Primary education services. With the introduction of Universal Primary Education (UPE), primary school enrollment increased from million in the year 2002 to 49,960 in 2017. Other tangible results include increased enrollment of girl-child education. We provide basic education to 70,216 (49,960+ 20256) pupils in 135 public and 83 private schools, with a teaching staff of 1080. We provide infrastructure namely, 978 classrooms and 111 teachers’ houses in schools.
Our service indicators are: a pupil to latrine ratio of 37:1; pupil to classroom ratio of 47:1; pupil to desk ratio of 4:1; and the pupil to text book ratio of 10:1. The pass rates and performance in national examinations has greatly improved and increased from 94.8% in 2008 to 96% in 2017 while the number of candidates with ungraded marks have reduced from 3.3% to 2.0% during the same period. In 2017 alone, 322 pupils and another 2371 passed in division 1 and 2 respectively.
We have 17 public secondary schools with 7,744 students and 19 privately owned secondary schools. So far, 25 schools (public and private) participate in Universal secondary education (USE). We have 4 government aided tertiary institutions with 903 students.
