He argued at the end of the day the character of a nation is the sum total of all their character.

Chief of Staff and Head of the Public Service Felix Koskei has said the government is concerned with the shaping of the future leaders it will have.

He further said that it is also concerned with the type of future teachers, soldiers, doctors, policepersons among others it will have.

"Also the future parents the country will have," he added.

Koskei insisted the future of the country they are going to have is a great concern.

He was speaking during the 2024 primary school heads forum held at the Sheikh Zayed hall in Mombasa county. He was flanked by Kenya Primary School Heads Association (KEPSHA) national chairman Johnson Nzioka.

 

A total of 15,000 delegates, including junior school heads across the country, were in attendance.

The Chief of Staff and Head of the Public Service told the delegates the most important thing is not the schools you send your children to learn.

Koskei said it is how you raise your children and how we help them to form a faithful, honest, decent and giving and forgiving character.

He argued at the end of the day the character of a nation is the sum total of all their character.

"That advice reminds me of the old adage that intelligence plus character is the true goal of education," he pointed out.


The chief of Chief of Staff further said there is need to  recognize that education is not pathway to knowledge.
He pointed out that the sector is a cornerstone to innovation, equity and sustainability.
“Since we stand at the crossroads of digital revolution,” he said.
