Setting the record straight on school heads

On April 8, 2015, I gazetted the Basic Education Regulations, 2015 to operationalise the Basic Education Act, 2013.

I issued the regulations on the authority of Section 95 of the Basic Education Act 2013; the Act allows the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Education, with appropriate consultations, to make regulations which will give effect to the purposes, goals and objectives embodied in the Act. Without the regulations, operations of schools and colleges will grind to a halt.
