KNUT wants teachers' security assurance in North Eastern region

Garissa political leaders and the Kenya National Union of Teachers, are calling on the government to protect the teachers in the North Eastern region, against threats posed by Al Shabaab militants. Led by the county governor Nathif Jama and Garissa Township MP Dekow Mohammed, the leaders said that it is the responsibility of the government, to ensure that schools in all parts of the country have enough teachers, who are protected to carry out their duties well. Governor Jama however regretted that the locals in the region had refused to enroll for teaching courses, even after his administration promised scholarships for students to pursue the courses.
