The Murang'a County Education Stakeholders have formed a committee to investigate the pathetic low standards of education in the area.

The Committee consisting of Professors, education officers, Knut officials, DEB members, of Head teachers association were given the mandate to guide the forum on how they can address the pathetic education standard in the region and recommend solutions.

Speaking at Murang'a Teachers Training College in Murang'a South, Wairagu attributed the low standards of education to ignorance by the stakeholders, blame game, poor managerial skills by school managers and failure to embrace change.
