2008 – Kenya – TOP 10 PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOLS
NATIONAL SCHOOLS
1. Starehe Boys’ Centre and School (also popularly known as “Starch”)
-
is a partial board, boys – only educational boarding school located in Nairobi Kenya.
-
is unique for a Kenyan independent school in that it educates a large proportion of its students free, and most at a reduced rate. This stems from its founding charter as a charitable school. School fees are paid on a means-tested basis, with substantial subsidies paid by the school so that students from all walks of life are able to have a comprehensive, high quality, public school education that would otherwise be beyond the means of their parents or guardians as it may be.
-
The entrance process uses results from the national KCPE exams prefers to award school places to those who show academic potential that would benefit from the high quality environment that the school offers to those that would otherwise not be able to afford it. The number of students who pay the full fee is limited to 30% of the School population; who may also receive some form of support, and the number of students who pay no fees is 70% of the School population.
