On July 7, 2019, Nova Pioneer Schools and Local Authorities Pensions Trust (Laptrust) broke ground for a Sh1.6 billion ultra-modern education complex in Eldoret town.
The project, which is expected to be ready for the January 2020 intake, is a partnership between the two entities.
Uasin Gishu Governor Jackson Mandago, who presided over the groundbreaking ceremony, expressed his support for investors in the region.
“This region is an ideal destination for investment and we will continue offering a conducive environment for investors,” he said.
According to Mandago, investors have injected Sh10 billion into Eldoret since the 2017 election, a clear indication of their faith in the region.
The education complex will sit on a 20-acre piece of land and will have two schools – one for boys and the other for girls – in one compound but functioning semi-autonomously with separate administration blocks for the two categories.
The schools will also have modern classrooms equipped with technology that enhances learning, boarding facilities as well as grounds for sport and club activities.
