Makongeni Primary School, established in 1961, is a public day school located in the Makadara constituency of Nairobi, specifically within the Makongeni Railway Quarters along Jogoo Road. As a mixed, integrated institution run by the central government, it serves a student body of approximately 322 pupils and employs about 10 Teachers Service Commission (TSC) staff. The school follows the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), which emphasizes holistic development and real-world problem-solving. While it has long been a community cornerstone—often used for civic activities like national ID registration—it has recently faced infrastructure challenges, particularly regarding the need to replace aging asbestos roofing from its original construction. Despite these challenges, the school continues to modernize, notably through the 2025 commissioning of a new science laboratory to enhance STEM education.
