A total of 260 Early Childhood Education teachers will be hired in Garissa county in April next year. The recruitment will start after teacher trainees graduate in April, Deputy Governor Abdi Dagane said yesterday at Garissa County ECD Training Centre, which is under construction. He said the county administration built 10 ECD centres this year and that more will be added next year to address a shortfall of 470 ECD teachers. Separately, Garissa Kenya National Union of Teachers executive Abdirizak Hussein praised the county administration for the hiring of more teachers as a move that was long overdue. Hussein, who was speaking on phone, said many schools in rural areas were still faced with acute shortage of ECD teachers and basic infrastructure.
