Cabinet Secretary Njuguna Ndung’u and Education counterpart Ezekiel Machogu are set to convene with over 7,000 Heads of Secondary Schools in Kenya to tackle the pressing issue of refinancing education.

These talks aim to explore strategies for ensuring sustainable and adequate funding for the country’s education system as the new financial year approaches.

Speaking at the 47th Kenya Secondary School Heads Association (KESSHA) Annual National Conference held at Sheikh Zayed Hall in Mombasa, Chairman William Kuria highlighted the critical need to discuss sustainable strategies to support educational institutions and enhance learning outcomes nationwide.

The conference, themed ‘Future Pathways for Learning and Learners in Kenya’, underscores the Principals’ commitment to shaping Kenya’s educational landscape.

Kuria pointed out that this year’s capitation fell short, with only Sh12,000 received per student out of the expected Sh22,244, impacting the ability to run schools effectively. However, he noted proactive measures are being taken to address the issue, with hopes for a permanent solution.

The conference will be inaugurated by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, emphasizing the government’s commitment to advancing education. Nancy Macharia, CEO of the Teachers Service Commission, is also expected to speak on transformative leadership at the event.

“In addition to these esteemed speakers, we are privileged to host several dignitaries including the Principal Secretaries for Basic Education and also the Technical and Vocational Education, the Auditor General, and other notable personalities,” Kuria said.

Kuria thanked their sponsors and exhibitors whose generous support made the conference possible, citing special thanks to KCB for their continuous sponsorship and for providing essential financial services, thus contributing significantly to the growth and development of the education sector.

“As we commence this conference, let us engage thoughtfully, share insights, and work together towards crafting effective strategies that will shape the future learning pathways in Kenya,” he noted.

The Head of SME Banking and Agribusiness from KCB Bank, Naomi Ndele applauded the strong partnership between the Bank and the Education Sector citing that as a key financial partner, they have offered different solutions over the years targeted at supporting schools in achieving their goals and enhancing the quality of education.
