The Education sector is the biggest beneficiary of the two-year stimulus plan, as more cash will go towards reforming primary, secondary and university education. Primary and secondary school heads welcomed the plan, saying the institutions will need proper funding when learning resumes. On secondary schools’ infrastructure, Sh2.5 billion will be spent on building 100 tuition blocks in extra-county boarding schools in the next two years. And for primary schools’ infrastructure, Sh1.2 billion will be spent to put up classrooms and refurbish ablution blocks.
