I think this is a wise move because our schools have continued to suffer because of shortage of teachers. I do not for once agree with the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) when they say that teachers should not be employed on temporary terms. It is a prudent measure to hire these young people while awaiting for their turn to be employed permanently. Therefore, this will go a long way in improving our educational standards."}
