The Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) has warned that devolving education to County governments would be disastrous for teachers and learners.

KUPPET National Chair Omboko Milemba said devolving education would dismantle the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and hand teacher employment to counties — a move he termed risky.
