The Kenyan government has announced a nationwide promotion exercise for thousands of teachers, allocating Ksh1 billion for the initiative to address educators remaining in the same job groups for years, with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) prioritizing those most affected. Education Cabinet Secretary Migos Ogamba has also directed all schools to re-register through the new Kenya Education Management Information System (KEMIS) to combat “ghost schools” and prevent fraudulent fund allocation, specifically after concerns about Ksh1.3 billion in infrastructure funds being diverted.
