Kisumu County Governor Prof. Anyang’ Nyong’o has upgraded the status of 665 Early Childhood Development and Education (ECDE) teachers who were serving on contracts.
They are now employed on permanent and pensionable terms by the County Public Service Board in Kisumu and were issued with confirmatory letters of appointment.
The Governor highlighted measures the county government has undertaken to develop the education of the children learning in public ECDEs where a feeding program initiative has ensured every ECDE institution receives rice and oil to complement the efforts of the parents.
Additionally, construction of classrooms, toilets and water points to maintain high standards of hygiene within the schools as well as vaccinating against diseases, deworming and provision of vitamin A are being implemented.
