While receiving the Award, the teacher at Keriko Secondary School in Nakuru, called on governments to make sure education, especially for girls, is a right adding that around 6 million girls of school-going age around the world do not get the chance to go to school. “Good education should not be a matter of luck but should be a right. Today people continue to struggle to learn. The role of education should be to unlock the best in people and give them the skills to relate with others in the society.”
In March, Tabichi became the first teacher from Africa to win the fifth edition of the World Teacher of the Year award, which came with a Sh100 million cash prize.
