With the goal to enhance the learning environment in the sub-county, the KPA boss urged parents and all stakeholders to support teachers and to make sure students attend school each day. He also pledged to keep working with the county and the national government.

 

Jilo Justin Mkaduda, the director of education for Rabai Sub-County, welcomed the pledge and highlighted the sub-count's better KCSE results, wherein 21.8% of candidates, roughly 528 pupils, achieved high enough grades to be admitted to university for the first time.
