Kenya Primary School Headteachers’ Association (KEPSHA) has released its schedule for this year’s conferences which will start next week.
According to the Association’s 2023 proposed schedule for conferences seen by Education News, head teachers in Western Kenya will converge at Farm View Hotel in Busia for their Regional Conference starting from Tuesday March 14, 2023 to Friday March 17, 2023.
Headteachers in Central Kenya will have their regional conference in Kisumu from April 24, 2023 to April 28, 2023; while those in Rift Valley and Eastern will have their regional conferences in Nanyuki-Laikipia and Isbania in Migori respectively from April 24, 2023 to April 28, 2023.
Nyanza Regional Conference will be held at Gusii Stadium in Kisii County from April 23, 2023 to April 27, 2023; with Nairobi headteacher’s regional conference being moved to Mombasa from April 21, 2023 to April 23, 2023.
The Children Council will have their conference on June 16, 2023 in Nairobi before paving way for the KEPSHA National Annual Delegates Conference which is being planned to take place in Mombasa from November 4, 2023 to November 10, 2023.
However, the dates and venue for Cost and North Eastern Regional Conferences were yet to be set.
The conferences are coming at the time when the headteachers have been tasked with responsibility of overseeing the Junior Secondary School transition which is domiciled in primary schools.
In their presentation to the Presidential Working Party on Education Reform (PWPER), KEPSHA pushed for JSS to be domiciled in the current primary schools.
