Mbeti North Ward, Embu County – In a major step towards improving the learning environment in local schools, ACK Gatondo Mixed Day Secondary School is set to benefit from the construction of a modern administration block. This much-needed development, supported under the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF), is expected to greatly enhance the functionality and professionalism within the institution.

For years, ACK Gatondo Mixed Day Secondary School has been a beacon of hope for learners across Mbeti North Ward. With rising student enrollment and a growing demand for quality education, the need for improved infrastructure has become more pressing. While much attention has traditionally been given to classrooms and laboratories, this new project places a critical focus on the working conditions of teachers and administrative staff.

“Our educators are the backbone of academic success. Providing them with a conducive working environment is not just a matter of comfort, but a step towards fostering excellence in teaching,” said a representative from the NG-CDF office during a stakeholder briefing.

The new administration block will host essential offices, including those for the principal, deputy principal, staff members, and other administrative functions. The design includes meeting rooms, storage facilities for school records, and a reception area to streamline communication between parents, staff, and the wider school community.

Teachers at ACK Gatondo have welcomed the news, noting that the current facilities have long been overstretched and inadequate. “We are grateful for this development. A dedicated administration block will not only improve our efficiency but also show respect for the work we do as educators,” remarked one senior teacher.

Parents and local leaders have also applauded the initiative, terming it a timely investment in the future of the region’s youth. With Mbeti North Ward continuing to prioritize education, the administration block is seen as part of a broader commitment to quality learning.

Construction is expected to commence shortly, with local contractors and skilled laborers anticipated to benefit from the project as well. Once complete, the administration block will serve as a central pillar in the school’s ongoing transformation journey.

This development reaffirms the resolve of education stakeholders and government agencies to ensure that every student learns in a well-managed, inspiring environment — and that every teacher is empowered to give their best.
