The government made this announcement shortly after Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi dispatched 67 teachers to begin their work in the US.

Musalia highlighted the rigorous selection process conducted by the two companies, stating that the teachers underwent thorough interviews to secure their positions.

Only 67 teachers passed the stringent evaluations and are now poised to receive better remuneration in the United States.

Musalia emphasized the importance of these teachers acting as exemplary brand ambassadors for Kenya during their tenure abroad.
