SELECTION
PROCESS OF SCHOOLS
Following
a procedure considering the eligibility of the visited schools, 11 schools were
prioritized by the PIU for rehabilitation and extension.
All 11 short listed
schools are situated within or at the fringe of an informal settlement area in
Nairobi and are mixed schools with an equal enrolment by gender.
In January 2005 - 201.576 pupils attended Nairobi primary schools whereof
100.224 were boys and 101.352 were girls.
( Enrolment Statistics).
The
following criteria were applied in prioritizing schools
Entry
criteria:
1.
Catchment area: Location in an informal settlement or at the periphery
and serving at least 50% of pupils in
slum areas
2.
Established SMC:
Established and operational SMC.
Supplementary criteria for Non-formal schools were:
3. Registration:

Board, Parents
represented in the
Management board.
5. Commitment:
Commitment to follow formal curriculum
6. Quality standard: Minimal quality standard certified by School inspector.
Selection Criteria:
In order to determine the eligibility and the need of
each individual school a selection system, based on points has been developed
According to the following
weighting:
7. Need :
Ccatchments
area justifies intended building measures
8. Space Requirements : students /class, sqm / student
9. Condition
of Infrastructure: Justifies
rehabilitation / new construction of classrooms
10.
Availability of land:
Size> 10.000 m2, availability of Land
Title / Land Lease
11. Exclusivity of Site:
Occupation of the site by only one intervening body (donor)
FINAL SELECTION
Subsequent to the site visits and
the evaluation of the different criteria, the PIU established a prioritized list
of schools based on needs
analysis and the achieved score, from which a short
list was drawn for the programme.
Also considered was the
geographical location of an eligible school in order to achieve an equitable
distribution within the seven Nairobi divisions.
A construction order of sites
has also been taken into consideration bearing in mind the logistics of
supervision of the works and cost effectiveness. Therefore schools in close
geographic proximity can be constructed at the same time and consequently have
been placed in
the same, or in the adjoining building package.
The execution of works will be
carried out in four building packages. After tendering of the first package a
better picture of the current prices
will emerge and facilitate a decision on
the total number of measures.
The total investment of construction
funds shall
not exceed 8 Million € (incl. furniture and learning materials).
As
a result of the said considerations the neediest cases were suggested to be
prioritised.
