NAIROBI, 12 July 2024 — FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Kurasa statement · 12 July 2024. Read the linked coverage on Media for reports from Education News, The Standard and iHub, and visit Impact for dated studies and programme accounts.
The agreement was signed in Nairobi on 12 July 2024. Johnson Nzioka, then chairman of KEPSHA, said teachers needed tools for CBC and for the administration that eats the week. The association is the way into those schools.
William Nguru, chief executive of Kurasa Africa, said technology should take work off the teacher, not add a portal. The work covered by the partnership is lesson planning, assessment, and a parent-facing picture of the week.
Also named at the table that day: Kennedy Kyeva, KEPSHA treasurer, and Irene Yiaile, secretary. Schools are authorised through the association’s zonal and sub-county chairs. Teachers then work in their own workspace.
Curriculum and programme information
Use official curriculum documents for teaching requirements. The agreement describes collaboration on classroom tools and school introductions through KEPSHA. Contact the team about current programme arrangements.
About Kurasa
Kurasa is teacher-first software for CBC and CBE classrooms in Kenya, Rwanda and Ghana. It holds the lesson, the register, the evidence and the family in one record so schools are not reconstructing the week from paper.
