They are mentors, innovators, and trusted partners in transforming education systems,” he said.
He said that Kenya is committed to investing in teacher training, professional growth, and digital tools to ensure no learner is left behind.Prof Bitok used the forum to highlight the ongoing education reforms in the country that include the piloting of the Kenya Education Management Information System (KEMIS) that is set to begin in July, ahead of full rollout in September.
