KEPSHA and Kurasa, 12 July 2024: chairs, then classrooms

The Kenya Primary School Heads Association signed with Kurasa Africa in Nairobi on 12 July 2024. Johnson Nzioka, then chairman, put the reason in staffroom language: teachers needed tools for CBC and for the administration that eats the week. The association was the way into those schools.
