A news report has detailed a significant scandal involving the disbursement of education funds in Kenya between 2018 and 2025. In a separate challenge for the sector, several schools in Laikipia North have been shut down due to escalating insecurity, leaving hundreds of students without an education. The insecurity has forced families to seek refuge in schools that have been converted into temporary shelters. In response to different educational needs, Cabinet Secretary for Gender Hanna Cheptumo and Principal Secretary Carren Ageng'o launched an Emergency Education Support and Mentorship Programme. This initiative, implemented by the Child Welfare Society of Kenya, aims to provide crucial support to students in the Nyando Sub-County.
