The school principal Duncan Juma says that despite the school been under constant threats from land grabbers his students have managed to rise above and scored good grades.

According to the principal the school has managed to hit the mean target of 6.5 which is an improvement of 1.7 from last year’s 4.756.

A member of the clergy prays with the students and parents as Uhuru boys secondary school celebrated their results. They are taking 35 students to university out of a class of 72.

The principal says that the students were not in a position to have online classes so they had to conduct a crash program for the students in order to bridge the gap within the short time availed to them.

The top student Rodney Baraza say that they had to put in their individual efforts to cover more of the syllabus and revise.
