DeKUT at Nyeri Central Prize Giving

Dedan Kimathi University of Technology Vice Chancellor Prof. P. N. Kioni con-

gratulated the students from the Nyeri Central Region of excellent performance

in all subjects including Sciences and Mathematics. During his address as the

Chief Guest, Prof. Kioni said that DeKUT is contributing to the rise of education

standards in the Nyeri County through a pool of international and local exper-

tise.

During the ceremony, issues of drug and substances abuse were named as a

major hurdle to education in the area. Apart from drugs, insecurity and cases

of theft in schools have been a hell to school managers.

Nyeri Central Sub-County hosts 18 public and

seven private secondary schools. The schools’

Principals were praised for the development

of academic and co-curricular programmes

that are improving performance.

Area Sub-County Director of Education, Law-

rence Karuntimi said the government is com-

mitted to providing quality education and im-

proving service delivery in both primary and

secondary schools.
