According to Mrs Matolo, the Head Computer Studies teacher, the girls have a lot of interest in pursuing IT but are mainly hampered by lack of computing facilities. The reduced number of students taking the course in form 3 and 4 confirms this fact. According to the KCSE curriculum, Computer Studies is an elective unit competing against other group 5 subjects such as business studies, Home Science e.tc. Majority of the students opt for the Business Studies elective because of its non-technical nature.
