Low performing primary schools in Kenya receive funding to improve scores
Under the Primary Education Development program (Priede) in Kenya, sponsored by the Global Partnership for Education, schools that have performed poorly in recent primary school exit examinations will receive Sh500,000 to improve teaching and learning in two subject areas of their choice, and to upgrade school facilities. These schools are believed to have registered low scores due to lack of resources. They have been put on an aggressive plan to catch up, which includes training programs for their head-teachers.
