The Othaya Girls School Principal has scooped the African Union Continental Teacher of the Year award 2020.
Jane Kimiti scooped the award for best teacher in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on December 21 and received her certificate of recognition virtually.
“I am very happy with the recognition I have received from the African Union because it highlights my commitment to improve learning, community relations and teacher empowerment,” she said.
Speaking at the institution, Kimiti described the rigorous process she underwent to be selected as the winner.
“Every AU state was to nominate two teachers as representatives, a man and woman, who made their presentation on policy and the best way forward to achieve the African agenda,” she noted.
