On July 5, 2019, Nova Pioneer marked a significant milestone in the education sector by breaking ground for the construction of two new secondary schools in Uasin Gishu County. The institutions, a boys and girls school respectively, are set to be complete and ready for intake by January 2020.
The schools will offer the Kenya National Curriculum, delivered in world-class teaching methods that develop character, skills, and connection, preparing students to lead and innovate in the 21st century. Located near Eldoret town, the full-boarding secondary schools will be developed separately across 20 acres of land.
Speaking at the event, Uasin Gishu Governor Jackson Mandago welcomed the investment in the county, committing the support of the county government to the project. He noted that the institutions will be a catalyst for innovation in the county, enabling them to realize the enormous resources they have within their boundaries.
Nova Pioneer East Africa Managing Director, K. Danae Pauli, emphasized the need for world-class education to compete in today's world, thanks to technology that has made it a global village. She noted that the partnership with LAPTRUST will enable the school to focus its resources on delivering world-class education to transform the lives of all students across its network.
LAPTRUST CEO and MD Hosea Kili noted that the institution is a welcome move in Eldoret, following the establishment of the first Nova Pioneer School in Tatu City. He added that the partnership will enhance returns for LAPTRUST members and ensure a healthy funding level for sustainability for the fund.
