A POISON TREE

I was angry with my friend;

I told my wrath, my wrath did end.

I was angry with my foe:

I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I watered it in fears, Night and morning with tears; And 1 sunned it with smiles, And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night.

Till it bore an apple bright. And my foe beheld it shine, And he knew that it was mine.

And into my garden stole, when the night had veiled the pole; in the morning glad I see; My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

With the Kenya Drama and Film Festival calendar approaching, we may quite-wrongly assume that acting is a waste of time in our rigorous education system. This is a perfect release and an avenue to showcase their talent and become paid actors in a country that has started appreciating art in all its forms.

Most of the school drama clubs that are famous in Kenya for their rigorous approach to stagecraft usually have the most passionate tutors and casting directors. Therefore, their good performances do not come as good luck or favor.

Here, we’re looking at some of the top secondary school drama clubs in Kenya and the different classes of items they’ve presented.

STATE HOUSE GIRLS

The Nairobi’s State House Girls drama club is reasonably-known for Its championship in Choral Verses over the years. The school not only roars in the Nairobi region but in Kenya as a whole.

The no-nonsense approach by Teacher Service Commission (TSC) CEO Nancy Macharia on teachers affairs best exemplifies the quintessential iron lady. She has silenced the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) leadership and continues to steer the commission the best way she knows. She took over from Gabriel Lengoiboni who retired in 2015.

Age and Education Background

The TSC chief executive was born in 1963. In 1987, she graduated with a degree in Bachelor of Education in English/Literature. Ms. Nancy pursued a master of Education Policy and Management at Bristol University, UK.

Career

She started as a teacher at Kahuhia Girls’ Secondary in Murang’a before being promoted to deputy principal of Kiandeni Girls’ Secondary in the same county. The ambitious Ms Nancy quit as a teacher and took a job as a staffing officer. She later became director teacher management, reporting directly to the CEO. She was tasked with management of 4 senior deputies.

Background

The CEO position was advertised on May,1. It drew 69 candidates and 4 were shortlisted. After the grueling interviews, Nancy was appointed. She is the 9th person and 1st woman to hold this position.

Training

She has trained both locally and internationally in:
Business excellence models
Public procurement
Information Communication Technology(ICT)
Corporate governance
Proactive management
She is also a member of the Kenya Association of Public Administration Management(KAPAM) and institute of directors.

Controversies

Kenyans on Twitter have continuously bashed Nancy. A section of social media users castigated the CEO for being oblivious to the dangers teachers face working in North Eastern. Teachers in this region face hostility and even some are killed by Al Shabaab militants. The CEO, appeared before the National Assembly’s Education Committee and threatened them with interdiction if they absconded duty.

Achievements

In 2014, President Uhuru awarded her the Order of Grand Warrior. This was due to her development contribution both inside and outside the workplace.

She was part of the team that steered the national integrated data system for TSC. She also negotiated for funds from world bank.

In order to solve the ghost workers problem, she initiated the teacher management information system.

Hobbies

In her CV she cited the following hobbies: traveling, assisting the society’s less fortunate, gym, music and farming.

The number of teachers acquiring higher qualifications has gone up, piling more pressure on the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to fast track their promotions.

The 2020 Economic Survey data released yesterday shows the number of teachers who obtained degree level qualifications or higher went up by 6,662, translating to a 7 per cent increase.

This brings to 61,364 the number of teachers who have for the last three years upgraded their education. Overall, the survey says, the total number of teachers with degree qualification stands at 101,560 up from 94,898.

This means TSC may require additional resources to promote the teachers, who will scramble for limited slots. Promotion of teachers who have attained higher qualifications has been a sticky issue pitting the unions against TSC. The survey says the number of teachers with diploma qualifications or below is down by 698. TSC employs more than 300,000 teachers.

During the review period, according to the report, the number of teachers with bachelors’ degree accounted for 94.7 per cent of the total count of teachers. It says the number of teachers with postgraduate degrees has gradually declined to stand at 1,920 in 2019.

Last year only 4,312 teachers had diploma qualifications. The number has decreased by 16.2 per cent to 3,614.

The data shows that the total number of teachers increased by six per cent to 105,234 in 2019 from 99,272 in 2018. The number of male teachers accounts for 59.0 per cent of the total teacher population in 2019.

The data does not include teachers with certificate qualifications, which form the biggest chunk of teachers in public schools.

The Dedan Kimathi University of Technology (DeKUT) is set to hold a virtual graduation ceremony for its students in two weeks, becoming the first Kenyan institution of higher learning to do so.

This comes amid a ban on public gatherings due to Covid-19.
Vice Chancellor Prof Ndirangu Kioni said the move follows requests from students.

Education Cabinet Secretary Prof. George Magoha on Sunday announced that the government had resolved to extend the nationwide school closure by one more month.

CS Magoha, addressing the press at Afya House during the daily Covid-19 briefings, hence intimated that the schools, which were initially set to reopen on May 4, could now resume operations in June.

The CS however added that the national examinations are however still on, saying any other decisions on the contrary will depend on the government’s ability to control the spread of the novel coronavirus.

The French school hosts close to 650 students between the ages of 3 and 18 years from more than 50 countries. It is also is a member of AEFE (Agency for French Education Abroad), the largest network of schools with more than 495 schools in 137 countries.
