The PS said the Ministry of Education is working closely with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to ensure teachers are promoted based on merit, alongside broader government efforts to improve learning conditions and access to technology in schools. According to Ololtuaa, the government plans to supply learners with tablets and establish ICT hubs in schools as part of efforts to enhance digital learning, while also releasing capitation funds to support learning and enable schools to meet their operational needs.
Ololtuaa further called on residents living along the Kisii-Trans Mara border to maintain peace and coexistence, though details of the specific concerns he addressed were not immediately provided.
