PS Njogu echoed Mudavadi’s sentiments, urging the teachers to always be their brother’s keeper while working abroad and to engage Kenya missions abroad in case of any challenges.

This collaboration ensured that the selected teachers met the high standards required for their new roles.
The event was also attended by Ambassador Isaiya Kabira, Secretary-Investments and Entrepreneurship, and Irene Karari, Director of the Skills and Expertise Division.
They reiterated the importance of the teachers’ mission and the positive impact their work would have on Kenya’s reputation and future opportunities for other professionals.
