Ego threatens positive education reforms

In an interactive session with journalists recently, Mr Wilson Sossion expressed his views on what stand the Kenya National Union of Teachers ought to have taken in regard to changes made to the third school term by Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i. It was done with such haughtiness many people must have felt bemused.

While it would be facetious for me to challenge his right to express his position on the matter, it is the manner of doing so that baffles. Mr Sossion’s deportment suggests a sense of entitlement to matters of education and gives the impression he is the fulcrum on which such matters revolve.
