Former Nairobi City County Urban and Lands CEC under the regime of Dr Evans Kidero, Kenya’s Christopher Khaemba, Co-Founder and Director of Nova Pioneer, has been named among the ten Finalists for the Africa Education Medal 2024.
Founded by T4 Education and HP, the Africa Education Medal is the continent’s most prestigious education accolade.
The Africa Education Medal recognises the tireless work of those who are transforming education across the continent – celebrating those who have lit the spark of change so others will be inspired to take up the torch. It is given to an outstanding individual who has demonstrated impact, leadership, and advocacy in the field of education.
The winner of this year’s Africa Education Medal will be invited to attend the World Schools Summit in Dubai on 23-24 November and, in recognition of the urgent need to solve the teacher recruitment and retention crisis to tackle learning gaps, the winner will be entitled to nominate a school of their choice to receive membership of T4 Education’s Best School to Work programme.
This is an independent, evidence-based mechanism to certify schools for their culture and help them transform their working environment to attract and retain the best teachers.
