In March, Dr. Macharia admitted that primary and secondary schools are suffering a severe teacher shortage.
“We thank the government for funding resources to allow us to recruit an average of 5,000 teachers annually for our public schools. However, we still have a shortage of 114,581 teachers in primary and post-primary institutions,” Dr Macharia said.
She attributed the deficiency partly to the 100% transition policy by the government, that seeks to ensure that all students who complete their primary education are all enrolled in secondary schools.
“This is due to the increased enrolment arising from the 100% transition policy, and registration of new schools.”
