“Principals are expected to become instructional leaders who support learner-centred pedagogy and prepare students for life and work in the twenty-first century,” he said.
Dr. Muturi also reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to transforming Kenya’s education sector through increased funding, teacher promotions, and the full implementation of CBE.
He said the government would continue making strategic investments aimed at improving learning outcomes while enhancing teacher welfare. According to the TSC chairperson, ongoing reforms include plans to promote more teachers and provide sustained support for the nationwide rollout of CBE.
