National Assembly Majority leader Aden Duale has asked Education CS George Magoha to form a task force to investigate the poor KCSE exam performance in his Garissa Township constituency and Northeastern at large. In public schools, there were a total of 249 Es in Garissa Township constituency alone with NEP Girls Secondary School led with 79Es, Boys Town Secondary (70 Es), while Yathrib Girls Secondary School had 27 Es. In the constituency, 326 students scored D minus, 186 (D plain),135 (D+),91 (C-), 60 (C plain), 28 (C+), B- ( 31 ), B plain ( 15 ), B + ( 5 ) and A- (4). Duale said the poor results should concern and worry everyone and urged the CS to ‘move with speed and act’. I'm proud of them since most of them were beneficiary’s of Garissa Township bursary scheme,” he said.
