The government plans to supply electricity in all primary schools by January a move it terms a prerequisite to execute the laptops programme. In this regard, the Energy ministry is carrying out a survey to lay ground for the connection of 11,065 primary schools to the power grid. The ministry has also advertised for procurement of solar power for 130 schools.
The Majority Leader in the National Assembly, Aden Duale, yesterday told Parliament that only 1,650 schools are connected to the national grid, but measures are being taken to ensure that all primary learning institutions have power by next year.
“The Ministry of Education will carry out comprehensive classroom renovations in schools with poor infrastructure and construct new ones where there is none,” he said.
