Speaking during the official opening of the school, Duale acknowledged the challenges that have continued to affect the North Eastern region such as insecurity and shortage of teachers.

TSC has in the recent put in a raft of measures to address the teachers shortage in schools in Northeastern and ensure learners in the region get quality education.

The measures the government has put in place include that of lowering the entry grade for colleges and universities for local students pursuing education courses.

Some non-local teachers have in the recent years fled the region due to insecurity caused by al Shabaab militants.
