The Ministry of Education has directed all schools that will hold junior secondary to set up independent management boards. Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu said the board will act as a watchdog and assist in the administration of the junior secondary schools.

Machogu said in the new board, the head teacher will serve as secretary while the chairperson will be a member of the committee. ''I wish to announce that the President has this morning accepted the ministry's interim guidelines,'' Machogu said.
