Salama Primary School, located in the Huruma area of Nairobi’s Starehe Constituency, is a prominent public day school managed by the local government authority. As a large educational institution with an enrollment of approximately 1,600 students, it follows the national Kenyan curriculum, currently transitioning to the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), and maintains a mixed-gender student body. The school is known for its inclusive approach, hosting a dedicated Special Unit for students with diverse learning needs, and is equipped with 24 classrooms and a professional staff supported by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). While facing typical urban infrastructural challenges like high pupil-to-classroom ratios, the school remains a vital community hub, recently highlighted for its role in uplifting students from humble backgrounds into national success.
