The Mombasa County Department of Education and Digital Transformation is cooperating with Al Khalidi Quality and Sustainable Development Foundation, a non-profit organisation to uplift education standards in Mombasa.
County Executive Committee Member (CECM) Mbwarali Kame says they will collaborate with the Foundation on the education and health sectors. "We will soon sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the organisation," said the CECM Kame, adding that they have also signed similar MoUs with the Al Khair Foundation and Rahma Worldwide.
The CECM also revealed that the plan to enlist madrasas and Sunday school teachers in the county payroll is on course as promised by the Governor during the campaign period. "We have formulated a bill although it's still a first draft for the departmental discussion before we involve our MCAs in the Department of Education. Thereafter, it will be taken to the county executive commitee and after approval, it will be taken to the assembly," he explained. "If it passes the assembly, we will consider our madrasas and Sunday Schools Teachers in our payrolls," he added.
The Managing Director of the Foundation Jassim Al-Ansari said the MOU will provide a framework for cooperation between the foundation and the devolved government. "Many people and business companies will be happy to be present in Kenya and, in general, in Mombasa with a framework of these shared principles, values, and heritages," said Al-Ansari.
