In response to recent student indiscipline issues, Ronald Mwiwawi, the County Deputy Commissioner of Mombasa, urged parents to maintain vigilance over their children's behavior. He stressed the pivotal role of instilling discipline within and outside school premises to cultivate academic excellence among students across Mombasa County.

In addition to these initiatives, MP Mohamed Machele unveiled plans to repurpose the former Mama Ngina Secondary School into a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institution. 

"I am grateful to President William Ruto for his visit to the coast. I accompanied him to the State House with my colleagues during his visit. At my request, I asked for the TVET project, he called the PS  Now, and now  we were given the  Mama Ngina building, and we are currently in the process of converting it into a TVET institution." said Mohammed Machele

Parents were encouraged to support their children's academic pursuits, fostering a conducive environment for educational success within Mvita and beyond.
