ACoH: MLT01/4 NYALI PRIMARY SCHOOL EDUCATION

Back Ground The school was founded as a result of the First World War which came nearest to the coastal strip making Mombasa a base of military activities. As a result there was over-crowding and shortage of housing and on the other hand a very large increase of military service traffic, etc, making the children’s lives more precarious. Many mothers became engaged on part time or full time war work and had to think of Nursery School to take care of the children while they were at work. Thus the Parents’ Club may have been an outcome of the war; but it is an outcome that has now come to stay. The school has three streams per class and the enrolment currently stands at 960 pupils.
