Principal Secretary for Broadcasting and Telecommunications, Stephen Motari Isaboke, recognized the outstanding academic accomplishments of Borangi SDA Senior School in Kisii County.
He characterized the institution as an exemplar of fortitude, discipline and educational superiority.
Addressing festivities commemorating the school’s 2025 KCSE results in Nyacheki Goroba Zone, Nyamache Sub-County, Isaboke acknowledged students, teachers, parents and school administrators for maintaining a tradition of scholastic achievement while committing governmental backing to advance digital learning facilities at the establishment.
Established in 1982 with merely 48 students and functioning initially as a single-stream coeducational day secondary school, Borangi SDA Senior School obtained full accreditation in 1986 and has subsequently evolved into one of the area’s foremost educational centers.
The institution currently enrolls 946 students, consisting of 440 males and 506 females.
The school is presently administered by Principal Dr. Lamech Siko Ongige, in collaboration with Board of Management Chairperson Charles Nyangito and fellow board members.
Academic documentation displayed during the occasion demonstrated that the institution has sustained a consistent upward development in national examinations since 2007.
The school achieved its most elevated KCSE average score of 8.01 in 2024 before registering an average score of 7.692 in 2025.
Educational authorities have now established a target average score of 8.50 for future examinations.
A significant feature of the festivities was the accomplishment of the 2025 graduating class, with 219 students obtaining university placements throughout the nation.
Addressing the assembly, Isaboke commended students for their perseverance and urged them to sustain concentration on their objectives.
“Do not permit your background or current situation to determine your destiny,” he stated, motivating students to adopt discipline, diligence and self-assurance as routes to achievement.
Drawing from his own upbringing in Nyamache, the PS informed students that modest origins should never constrain their ambitions, emphasizing that education stands as one of the most influential instruments for changing lives and communities.
To bolster the school’s future advancement, Isaboke revealed intentions to enable its linkage to the national fiber optic network to enhance internet connectivity and broaden digital educational prospects.
He also promised assistance toward supplying computers to improve digital proficiency among students.
The PS indicated that these measures are designed to guarantee that learners in rural and semi-urban educational institutions do not lag behind as Kenya advances its digital modernization agenda.
“This will assist in preparing students with the technological proficiencies necessary to contend in the contemporary economy,” he stated.
The gathering was attended by Board of Management members led by Charles Nyangito, Principal Dr. Lamech Siko Ongige, Abel Kenyanchui, Deputy County Commissioner Joseph Maina, representatives from the Ministry of Education, school principals and additional educational stakeholders.
The festivities highlighted Borangi SDA Senior School’s evolution from a humble institution created over four decades ago into a flourishing educational hub serving nearly 1,000 students.
School authorities indicated that the triumph of the 2025 KCSE class embodies the combined endeavors of educators, parents, students and the broader community in supporting the institution’s creed, “Strive for Excellence.”
