The efforts of the government and local leaders to implementing a local education solution in the north-eastern region, is bearing fruit, with an increase in students enrolling in Teachers' Training colleges (TTCs).
Over the years, the region is grappling with a teacher shortage, particularly in schools due to the widespread withdrawal of teachers from Garissa, Wajir, and Mandera counties due to insecurity and terror fears.
Local leaders, including governors and parliament members, are advocating for attitude change and encouraging local youth to enroll in teaching courses.
However, to entice the youths, various leaders started offering full sponsorships for students joining the teaching colleges to improve enrolment.
