Murema Primary School is a large, public, mixed-gender day school located in the populous Kasarani area of Nairobi, Kenya, offering the national Kenyan curriculum. The institution is known for its high student enrollment, with numbers nearing 3,000 children, leading to large class sizes that can range from 120 to 140 learners. The school serves as a unique community hub, integrating both local and refugee students into its general population and notably featuring a dedicated special needs education (SNE) unit for learners with cerebral palsy, an initiative supported by partners like the UNHCR and Xavier Project. Recent developments include the construction of new classrooms by the Ministry of Education and infrastructure upgrades such as solar panel installation and landscaping, made possible through partnerships with organizations like Strathmore University and local development funds, aimed at improving the overall learning environment.
