The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is actively pursuing a new government program, the Mwalimu Majuu programme, to connect qualified Kenyan teachers with overseas employment opportunities.

• Over 300,000 unemployed teachers could potentially benefit from this initiative.
• The TSC, alongside the State Department for Diaspora Affairs, is developing a policy framework for this international placement.
• Demand for Kenyan teachers, particularly in STEM and English language instruction, has been identified in countries like the United States, Ireland, and Germany.

The Kenya School of Government (KSG) and industrialist Manu Chandaria have partnered to establish a new institution in honour of the late former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga.

• The Raila Odinga and Chandaria Regional Centre for Innovation, Leadership and Governance will serve as a regional hub for leadership training and research.
• Key entities involved are the Kenya School of Government (KSG) and philanthropist Manu Chandaria.

The Social Health Authority (SHA) has clarified that a marriage certificate is not required for teachers to access In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) treatment under its scheme, correcting previous communication that led to an individual being denied services.

• A teacher was reportedly denied IVF treatment after being asked to provide a marriage certificate, a requirement not previously communicated.
• The Social Health Authority (SHA) issued the clarification following concerns from the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET).
• SHA stated that the mention of a marriage certificate was an error and advised the hospital to resubmit the request for review.
