KISII, Kenya, Jul 25 \u2014 Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Migos has announced a planned rationalization of teachers to support the ongoing Grade 10 transition, even as the government moves to secure additional capitation funding for schools.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Migos said the rationalisation \u2014 which will involve redeployment of teachers to understaffed schools \u2014 is part of broader efforts to ensure that no school suffers teacher shortages as the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) advances.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome teachers will have to be transferred to schools with fewer teaching staff and vice versa. We are committed to ensuring every learner gets quality education,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The CS, who spoke Friday at a thanksgiving function at Riokindo Boys National School in Kisii, acknowledged the financial constraints currently affecting many learning institutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt does bother me. Yes, there have been cash flow issues due to competing funding priorities by the government. We are, however, working closely with the Treasury to ensure timely disbursement of capitation funds. No child should miss learning due to lack of resources,\u201d Migos said.<\/p>\n

Financial prudence<\/h2>\n

He urged school administrators to exercise financial prudence as the government finalizes measures to enhance funding and accountability in public institutions.<\/p>\n

To address staffing gaps, Migos said an additional 24,000 teachers have already been recruited, with plans to employ over 100,000 more within the next two years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is reflected in the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party manifesto to employ 116,000 teachers by 2027, and we are on course to achieve that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On infrastructure, the CS said at least 1,600 laboratories are under construction to address shortages in schools, while a new Kenya Education Management Information System (KEMIS) will soon be unveiled to improve data collection and sector management.<\/p>\n

He added that the government had signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with teachers\u2019 unions to reduce friction and ensure a conducive learning environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are doing everything possible to get the education sector out of the doldrums it had sunk into,\u201d Migos assured.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
