Free Schooling – why your sponsorship still makes a difference !

• In January 2002 after the elections, the new NARC Kenya Government introduced free and compulsory primary education almost overnight. So why do we still need your money ?
• While this was a very worthy and well received edict it has created problems. 3 million children have sought and been awarded places in the schools under the new programme. The result has been enormous intakes in the already overcrowded classrooms with class sizes swelling to anything between 80-140 students.
• There has been no increase in the number of teaching staff and with funding from parents banned there is no money for the day to day running and management of the schools. It has become apparent from the careful monitoring of ACTS scholars progress that bright children can and do achieve good results in the Government schools but for the less gifted the teacher/pupil ratio is a distinct disadvantage and they become ‘lost in the crowd’.

As a result of this action, the ACTS Trustees have taken the following steps:

• ACTS will continue to observe closely the progress of their students in Government schools and transfer any that are really not able to cope to schools with smaller class sizes where their chance of success will be enhanced.
• ACTS will await the eventual outcome of the new programme to see what, if any, levies are reintroduced which will have to be met by parents.
• ACTS will continue to assist Government schools as they strive to educate so many children by providing desks, textbooks and educational resources.
• More focus willl be geared towards secondary level of education where the fees are high and third level which leads to attainment of skills that they convert to earnings to make them self supporting and often able to help other members of the family.
