This is due to displacement and exodus of teachers and pupils to the neighbouring schools, namely, St. Mary’s Andama, St. Joseph’s Makutano, Maji Mazuri Forest and Maji Mazuri RC Primary schools. Currently, the pupils are comfortable learning in these schools. That explains the reluctance of the school’s management committee and the parents to revive the closed Githioro Primary School."}
