Some secondary schools in Magarini, Kilifi County, are turning to the fast-growing content creation space in a bid to restore discipline and nurturing student potential.
At the forefront of this shift is Galana Boys Secondary School, where a strategic focus on talent development is yielding promising results.
During a talent show held at the school on Tuesday, Principal Jackson Nzai said the initiative is part of a broader effort to reshape the institution’s reputation and positively engage students.
“We have embarked on this innovative strategy to run the school and change the narrative. Talks on academic performance alone cannot restore discipline in a school better known for riots like Galana Boys,” Nzai noted.
The school has supported student-led projects in music, dance, video production, and online packaging, providing a platform for learners to express themselves constructively while learning critical skills.
According to Nzai, the approach not only helps improve student behavior but also aligns with the Competency-Based Education (CBE) model currently being rolled out nationwide.
Acknowledging the widespread funding gaps affecting many secondary schools, Nzai urged parents to rally behind the initiative, emphasizing its potential to shape students’ futures beyond the classroom.
One of the program’s beneficiaries, Sanita Karisa, praised the school for providing a platform to showcase talents in singing, dancing, and acrobatics.
“Former students earning money through content creation are inspiring us. With this support from the school, our success in life is guaranteed,” Karisa said.
Denish Owuor, a teacher at the school, called on the government to offer more support to schools in identifying and nurturing talents, noting that such efforts could open doors for learners both during and after their education.
