A parliamentary committee has approved the nomination of Prof Fatuma Chege as Principal Secretary for State Department for Implementation of Curriculum Reforms.
National Assembly Education committee tabled the report approving Ms Chege s nomination during the morning session of the special sitting, yesterday.
The committee chaired by Busia Woman Rep Florence Mutua further approved the nomination of Jamleck Muturi as chairperson of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and Timon Oyucho as a member.
Dr. Cathy Galyon, a faculty member in the Clemmer College at East Tennessee State University, has been elected incoming chair of the American Council on Rural Special Education (ACRES).
ACRES is a national organization of nearly 200 members dedicated to advancing the delivery of special education in rural locations.
Galyon, who teaches in ETSUâs Department of Educational Foundations and Special Education, says that while there is a high turnover of special education teachers across the country, the issue is especially problematic in rural areas.
âIn some places, there may be only one special education teacher in the whole county,â Galyon said. âSome of them feel isolated, and we want to support these educators by advocating to the government for more resources and funding.
