He said the strategies they set up were to ensure employers who graduate from colleges go to fill the required gaps.
“There are special colleges that we have set aside to provide Science teachers. This will help us a lot,” said Ole Nasha.

He said one of the challenges that contributed to the shortage of teachers was the teachers who had received fake certificates and had been removed.
He said tackling the issue would take a while, but it would be resolved within three to four years that they continue to hire.
“We will continue to hire, train and improve infrastructure for teachers who are employed,” said Ole Nasha.
