Schools are important amenities in society since they provide educational skills to students who later apply the skill in life and become professionals in specific areas. To provide educational skills, schools have to have a flawless system that has been discussed and agreed on by the school’s board, parents, teachers and to some degree, the students.
The health of students is also an important part of the learning process. The educational system has incorporated healthy co-curricular activities to assist in enhancing the creativity and mental status of the students. These include activities such as sports, music festivals, drama festivals, science project festivals and many more.
Juja provides both public schools and private schools to choose from that provide top-level educational skills. These schools include;
