Ms. Lillian Mwangi, Western Regional Director, TSC called on school heads to be servant leaders and always lead from the front.

He urged the teachers to uphold the values of honesty, kindness, self-control, emotional intelligence, courage, compassion and simplicity in their daily activities.
He urged the parents to share the responsibility of monitoring the progress of their children in the school.
“Parents and the state should work together to ensure quality education,” he said.
