Dr Nancy Njeri Macharia is expected to hung her boots from the Upper Hill red-carpeted office.
Her exit will mark the end of her 10 years at the helm of the leading employer in East and Central Africa (TSC), after which she will hand-over the office to the next CEO, who will be recruited from the ongoing process, which is at the application stage right now.
Speaking at a teachers’ function in Mombasa recently, Dr Macharia thanked all the stakeholders for their time together in the commission.
She said she laid a solid foundation upon which her successor will comfortably begin. The outgoing CEO further revealed that the seat wasn’t always cozy, as she had stressful times that called for heightened sobriety.

Knut officials, led by the 1st vice-national chair Malel Langat, who addressed members of the fourth estate in Mombasa, emphasised that a CEO with a teaching background should succeed Dr. Nancy Macharia.

“We expect nothing short of a teacher, one of us, to take over the office. We don’t expect a politician or any other professional,” a serious Lang’at said.
In related news, Education News has learnt that postings of recently promoted administrators have begun in some counties nationwide.
Field officers have been instructed to declare schools lacking administrators and urgently forward them to the county Directors’ offices. This will greatly relieve schools that have operated without substantive administrators for quite some time.
The National Assembly had questioned the credibility of the teachers’ promotions undertaken in January.
