KEMI is a capacity-building agency for the Ministry of Education; it serves as a springboard for advancing best management practices in the education sector. As valuable as prior college training is, it can never be driven fully towards training education personnel for specific positions within education management. Education Managers, therefore, need technical and personal skills in management. My vision is to contribute towards making KEMI a world-class Education Management Training Institute.
It is becoming abundantly clear that in the future we shall be greeted by clients that would like to be abreast of management trends. Successive Education Managers will want to use computers, as the school management of the future becomes e-oriented. The “new and improved” educations managers will want to use quicker means of communication.
The relevance of training programs will change within fewer years as knowledge changes dramatically. Most training programs will probably transit from face-to-face models to distance/online courses. All this will require that we reject conservatism and archaism. It means releasing the brakes on what is holding us back, taking calculated risks, overcoming hesitancy with commitment, and bouncing back from setbacks with resilience.
