Jubilation to ECDE teachers as Counties Absorbs Them Permanently. At least 602 Early Childhood Education Centres (ECDE) instructors in Siaya now have a reason to smile as a result of the county’s decision after being hired on permanent and pensionable terms.

By building additional infrastructure in our educational institutions, “my administration will also continue to improve their working environment,” he declared. “This is a part of our ongoing commitment to excellence.”
ECDE teachers were initially supposed to be hired by Teachers Service Commission but the counties argued otherwise.
