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.

Dated archive. The sitting or signing is the date on the page. Do not treat 2024 or 2025 counts as live scale, and do not mix them with the 2023 documentary snapshot or the 60 Decibels study.

The signing is 12 July 2024. Press coverage of that week lives on Media, with a date on each clipping. The November 2024 coast conference 301s here. None of those dates is a 2026 status board.

What the partnership is for

Lesson planning, assessment, a parent-facing picture. William Nguru’s line at the signing was that technology should take work off the teacher, not add a portal. Education News named Kennedy Kyeva, treasurer, and Irene Yiaile, secretary, at the table with Nzioka. The November 2024 KEPSHA conference at the coast is the same relationship in a hall of heads — it 301s to this page rather than living as a second press release.

What we will not copy forward

The 2024 post cited a teacher shortage “over 100,000” and a Usawa Agenda survey. Those claims stay in 2024 journalism. They are not Kurasa’s measurement and they are not the 60 Decibels sample. Inclusivity ratios and national gaps do not become product proof. Disrupt Africa’s September 2024 counts — about 52,000 learners and 2,400 teachers — stay on that clipping.

How to read it now

The mechanism still used on this site is B2G through KEPSHA chairs. The essay How PSL reaches public schools is the current argument. This page is the dated signing. The Media page holds the outbound links. Check Partners for who is still on the wall.

    How Kenyan ed-tech Kurasa is improving classroom management with digital tools

    A feature on Workspace for CBC lesson planning and formative assessment, and on the KEPSHA pipe into public schools. The interview is September 2024.

    As of that article: about 52,000 learners and 2,400 teachers. That is not the 29 August 2026 homepage scale, not the 2023 documentary snapshot, and not the 60 Decibels sample.

The pipe

Authorise the school, then let the teacher work.

PSL and Workspace follow the chairs. The 2026 contest recap is a sitting, not the partnership.
