It is a national shame that there are still "primary schools" in Kenya where a dusty tree shade constitutes a classroom. Yet in West Pokot county most primary schools have yet to start using laptops supplied by the government despite the nationwide rollout of the Digital Learning Programme (see P33). In Kakamega county, Eshianini Primary School in Butere constituency has no classrooms or desks (see P38). These should include classrooms, desks, learning materials and adequate instructors. And now that the national government has mandated county commissioners to coordinate its functions, such shame should not escape its radar.
