He also thanked the County Director of Education (CDE), and the leadership of the Ministry of Education for ensuring that BOMs are trained to improve school governance.
“All that we carry out as boards of management should be about the child. We should be focused on developing and transforming the child to be able to fit into the global stage in matters of skill and competency, a child who will transform the country in matters growth and development, and who will bring value and beauty to the world at large. That’s why we are here” he said.
