Junior High School To Be Hosted In Secondary As Ministry Gives Update On CBC Classroom ConstructionAccording to Lawrence Karuntimi, Deputy Director of Education at the Ministry of Education, junior secondary schools will be housed in secondary schools.In 2023, there will be a double intake of normal form one and the new grade seven, putting pressure on classrooms in particular, which is why they are working to build the necessary classrooms.“During last year’s Mashujaa day celebrations, the president ordered Treasury to make available Shs.8 billion for construction of 10, 000 CBC classrooms. “We have done the first phase of this development where by the end of May 2022 we are expected to have 6, 497 classrooms ready. "Right now we have over 5, 000 classrooms completed and handed over and we are mopping up the remaining few,” said Karuntimi.He went on to say that they are clearing the remaining classrooms for the first phase in the coming fiscal year, and that in two years they would have built the 20,044 classrooms that were needed for the double intake.“Part of the infrastructure that we are giving is provision of ICT equipment and every year we buy over 2, 000 computers that we distribute to schools. ALSO READ:"This has been happening progressively and therefore we expect that we equip the schools and provide the opportunity for our learners to be computer savvy and operate within the ICT space,” said Karuntimi.He went on to say that they will gradually provide the laboratories, workshops, dorms, and other facilities that the schools require.Junior High School To Be Hosted In Secondary As Ministry Gives Update On CBC Classroom Construction
