In a significant step towards enhancing the quality of education in Kenya, the Kenya Primary Schools Heads Association (Kepsha) has partnered with Kurasa Africa to equip teachers with essential digital skills. This collaboration, formalized at a signing ceremony in Nairobi on July 12, promises to revolutionize public education by providing educators with digital tools and resources designed to improve both teaching methodologies and administrative processes.
Johnson Nzioka, Chairman of Kepsha, highlighted the importance of adapting to the rapidly changing educational landscape, emphasizing that the partnership with Kurasa Africa is a critical move towards empowering teachers to deliver quality education and manage school administration more effectively. He noted, “In today’s world, the integration of technology in education is not just a luxury but a necessity. This partnership will ensure that our teachers are well-equipped to meet the demands of modern education and provide our students with the skills they need to succeed in the future.”
Kurasa Africa’s platform offers a comprehensive suite of digital tools tailored specifically to the needs of educators. These include assessment and lesson-planning resources, which are crucial for the effective implementation of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC). By streamlining these administrative tasks, teachers can devote more time to personalized instruction, thereby enhancing the learning experience for students.
William, CEO of Kurasa Africa, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “We are honored to work alongside Kepsha to bring our digital solutions to teachers across Kenya. Our goal is to empower educators with the tools they need to not only simplify their work but also to elevate the quality of education provided to students. This collaboration is a testament to our shared commitment to advancing education in Kenya.”
This partnership is poised to have a transformative impact on the educational landscape in Kenya, particularly in public schools. By equipping teachers with the necessary digital skills and tools, Kurasa Africa and Kepsha are helping to create a more efficient and effective education system that is better suited to the demands of the 21st century.
As the education sector continues to evolve, the collaboration between Kepsha and Kurasa Africa will play a vital role in ensuring that teachers are not only keeping pace with technological advancements but are also empowered to provide students with the highest quality education possible. The success of this initiative will undoubtedly contribute to the overall improvement of educational outcomes in Kenya, laying a strong foundation for the future of the nation’s youth.
