“Parents are to blame for failing in their role,” he said. Magoha also announced that the Ministry of Education would use Sh6.1 billion to expand public institutions in Kwale county.
“The money will ensure every public primary and secondary school in Kwale county gets a classroom, a laboratory and an extra administration block. This is part of the government’s programme to improve education standards,” he said.
