The Lamu KNUT Executive Secretary Ibrahim Shaibu says the County requires 1,000 more teachers to end understaffing.

He told Education News that teachers in the county are currently overworked due to the shortage of teachers.

“The government should recruit more teachers and deploy them to the county to enhance effective teaching and learning,” he said.

Shaibu revealed that the shortage has already affected the smooth learning in schools in the county and contributed to poor performance in national Examinations in schools in the area.

He said that both 2020 KCPE and KCSE examinations results in the region improved greatly and lauded teachers, students and parents for the good work done.

“Although the results improved in the county there  is still room  for improvement”, Me. Shaibu noted and called on all education stakeholders in the county to work as a team to improve education standards.
