Under the auspices of the Global Partnership for Education (GPE), technical experts will meet starting Wednesday ahead of the agency’s board meeting next week. The 4,000 schools were those that posted a mean mark 243 and below in KCPE examination results. The aim was to ensure the schools are assisted to improve quality of learning to ensure they raise their mean performance. Under Priede programme, more than 90,000 primary school teachers were trained to raise standards of learning and teaching in primary schools. The majority of these were trained in early grade mathematics, a component of the Sh8.8 billion GPE-funded project under the supervision of the World Bank.
