Started in 1992, Kibuku secondary school operates in dilapidated structures. Stephen Mwanga, one of the parents says that most of the structures at the school are in an alarming state. He explains that during the rainy season, students miss lessons as the administration releases them for fear of the classrooms falling on them.

He says that in addition to the deplorable classroom structures, the school has an inadequate number of teachers, desks, and sanitary facilities for the learners and teachers. Apparently, the teachers share the only available pit latrine with the students.

Ishaka Mwanja, the deputy director of studies, says that they have over 900 students. He says that some of the classrooms are in very bad shape and were condemned by the district engineer.

Paulo Aliau, the Kibuku deputy chief administrator, said that last year when the president visited the district to launch the PDM program, he promised to put up new buildings for the school and make it one of the model schools in the region. He says that they are still waiting for the fulfillment of the president's promise, saying that as a district they don't have any money to construct new buildings.
