More than 200 pupils from Sukuk primary school  in Pokot South Sub County have been forced to learn in the open after their five classrooms roof were  blown  off by strong winds.

When the informer visited the school, pupils were learning under trees seated on bricks and stones as they bear the hot sun.

 The learners seemed not to be concentrating because of the strong winds which could blow  their books and the scorching sun which
reflected directly on their books.
According to the school head teacher Mr Raymond Kishaunet said some pupils were in class when the strong winds destroyed the roof.
“The books and black boards were also destroyed, luckily no pupil was hurt because they ran for their safety,” said Kishaunet.
He added that for two weeks the children have been learning in the open and urged the government to quickly respond and construct new
permanent classrooms for the pupils since the classrooms were mud walled.
He added that the school has only four teachers hence affecting children performance.
“In Last yeas KCPE exams the school recorded a mean score of 289, the government should consider employing more teachers” said Kishaunet.
West Pokot leaders who also visited the school said the  county had been marginalized for so many years that is why many schools infrastructure were poor.
Civil Aviatioan Authority Board Chairman Samuel  Poghisio  blamed both the national and county government for failing to improveinfrastructure in schools as many  pupils  are forced to learn in the
open because of lack of classrooms.
He urged locals to elect leaders who mind their tribulations   and are after  raising the education standards of their children.
Senator John Lonangapuo added that the pastoral communities are faced with a lot of challenges due to marginalization hence advised them to elect leaders who are aware of their problems.
Lonyangapuo said the classrooms were destroyed by the   stormy winds  as a result of drought and urged  well wishers to assist in building the school.
“If you have nails, iron sheets or   desks  just lend a hand , there are  other schools  which have also been destroyed by the winds in Lomut ward.  Pastoralists communities need food, water  and pasture because of drought”  he said
