Baba Dogo Primary School

Baba Dogo Primary is a public day school for boys and girls on Baba Dogo Road, the main street through the Baba Dogo estate east of Thika Road. Its compound sits right beside M.M. Chandaria Primary and faces the Premier Food Industries factory, so many pupils are children of families who work in the light industries around Ruaraka. It is one of the larger primary schools in the area: older Ministry records counted about 1,700 pupils. Like other public primaries in Nairobi it follows the Competency Based Curriculum from pre-primary up to Grade 6, with junior school classes on the same site. Learning is free under the government's free primary education programme, and the school falls under the Ruaraka zone of the Nairobi county education office.
