Teachers Service Commission (TSC) Commissioner Timon Oyucho has decried the fast-dwindling education standards in Nyanza region in recent years.
Oyucho noted that the trend is visible since 2018, saying that should be a source of worry among stakeholders, especially school heads who should be at the forefront of finding ways to reverse the trend.
He was speaking in Kisumu where he witnessed the launch of a book titled Leadership in School Administration authored by Nyakach High School Principal Millicent Alaka.
Oyucho asked teachers and school heads to not restrict themselves to the subjects they handled in college only and to quickly adapt to the changing trends in the education landscape.
He also urged stakeholders to support reforms currently being undertaken by the government in the education sector and supplement its efforts as well.
The Commissioner, who was accompanied by Kenya Secondary School Heads Association (KESSHA) Nyanza region Chairperson George Opiyo and Nyakach Member of Parliament Aduma Owuor, said that school heads and teachers must maintain discipline among students to realize superb academic performance.
Oyucho lauded Alaka for publishing the book, saying that it was one of the ways of preserving knowledge.
