Equity’s Wings To Fly Will No Longer Sponsor Indiscipline Students.
Equity’s wings to fly has warned that it will no longer sponsor any students who are involved in school misconduct or indiscipline.
Equity Bank’s marketing director David Nyamu said during the commissioning of 422 student beneficiaries at Garissa University that only one out of every 11 students who applied was chosen.
Nyamu said they will work with relevant government officials to ensure that they take action on any student who has indiscipline cases and give the slots to other needy students.
Nyamu urged the students to maintain good behaviour and a high level of discipline.
“This is a God-given opportunity for the beneficiaries because so many vulnerable children had applied for the program and missed the slots,” he said.
“We don’t want to hear that the students under this program are the ones misbehaving in schools.”
Township of Garissa Deputy County Commissioner Solomon Komen urged students to always check with the bank before transferring to other schools to ensure that their fees are transferred to their new schools.
Komen stated that the government will not hesitate to take action against any student who is involved in illegal activities.
Hussein Ali, the director of education in Garissa County, has called for more slots in the coming years, particularly in low-income areas.
“The slots allocated to this county are not adequate because people in this area are nomads and have lost most of their livestock due to recurring droughts,” Ali noted.
