Plan to hire 5,000 extra tutors is a drop in the ocean, State told

Secondary school head teachers Sunday criticised the Government's plan to hire 5,000 extra teachers, saying the number was insufficient as the shortage had swelled to 87,000.

The Kenya Secondary Schools Heads Association (Kessha) said a teacher shortage and failure by the Government to review the education curriculum for the last 30 years had affected the provision of quality education in schools.
