(a) The Ministry is in the process of developing a strategy and guidelines for establishing two centres of excellence in every district, one for boys and the other one for girls. Thus, there shall be a total of 142 centres of excellence. This is in line with the Kenya Education Sector Support Programme (KESS), 2005 to 2010 and Sessional Paper No.1 of 2005, on the Policy Framework for Education, Training and Research. (b) The District Education Boards (DEBs) are mandated to identify the two schools and forward their recommendations and minutes to the Ministry based on the following: Quality infrastructure and facilities, adequate teaching and learning materials, quality teachers, good academic performance, a high standard of student discipline, good governance and management and a diversified curriculum. (c) The selected schools will benefit from the following. At least two schools in every district will benefit in future when the two centres are elevated to national schools, quality infrastructure and facilities will be provided, teaching and learning materials will be provided, the model schools will serve as a resource centre, they will act as source for promotion of quality teachers to manage other institutions, they will reflect improved academic performance and act as role models of good governance and management."
