Growing up in Arabia location in Mandera District, a small hamlet in Northern Kenyan, I remember with nostalgia my days in primary school. I largely attribute my success in life to the quality of education I received in those early days of my life.
The same can’t be said of the school-going children in my home village today following the recent mass transfer of non-local teachers by the Teacher Service Commission (TSC). TSC just removed the life support from the already struggling institutions in North Eastern region.
