Education News has also established that major changes involving quality assurance officers and sub-county directors are expected in the coming week.
It is also understood under the new realignments, several county directors have been dropped and replaced by new appointees under questionable circumstances. Some of the CDEs are said to be very experienced but have been sacrificed to create space for cronies of senior lackeys at Jogoo House.
