Over the years, KEWOTA has evolved into a leading organization in Kenya’s educational landscape, championing digital innovation, technological advancement, and collaboration among all education stakeholders.
KEWOTA’s impact is evident through its innovative programs, such as the digital tutoring platforms Opiq and Roodito, the KEWOTA laptops initiative, table banking, retiree support programs, and the KEWOTA Tank project. These initiatives have established KEWOTA as a go-to resource center and a benchmark for excellence in the education sector.
The upcoming Women Teachers Conference & Exhibition will bring together over 1,000 female teachers, education leaders, and key stakeholders from across the country. Known for its vibrancy, colorfulness, and exceptional quality, this event has become a must-attend occasion for women educators in Kenya.
The conference theme, “Transformative Empowerment: Breaking Barriers and Bridging Gaps for Women Educators in the 21st Century,” is timely and relevant for 2024. It focuses on equipping women educators to lead in a rapidly evolving world, emphasizing empowerment as a cornerstone in building a more inclusive and equitable future for education in Kenya.

The conference has been meticulously structured to accommodate all stakeholders in the education sector. Below are the various stakeholders to expect at the upcoming Women Teachers Conference & Exhibition in October 2024.
Women Teachers
Women teachers are the backbone of Kenya’s education system, nurturing young minds and shaping future leaders. Through KEWOTA’s successful programs, women teachers have become the go-to change agents at grassroots levels, driving educational reform and empowerment in their communities.
Male Teachers
Male teachers complement their female counterparts by bringing diverse perspectives to the classroom. Their participation in the conference underscores the importance of gender collaboration in fostering a balanced and inclusive educational environment that benefits all students.
Early Childhood Education Teachers
As the first educators in a child’s formal learning journey, early childhood education teachers lay the foundation for lifelong learning. ECDE teachers at the conference will gain insights into innovative approaches to early education, ensuring that children receive a strong start in their academic careers.
Special Needs Education Teachers
Special needs education teachers are dedicated to providing tailored education to students with diverse learning needs. At the conference, discussions will revolve around the journey to inclusive education, ensuring that all children, regardless of their abilities, have access to quality education.
Informal Sector Teachers
Informal sector teachers play a critical role in delivering education in non-traditional settings, often reaching marginalized communities. KEWOTA will guide efforts to integrate informal sector teachers into the mainstream dialogue, addressing the need for flexible and accessible education solutions that cater to learners outside the formal education system.
Tertiary Level Teachers
Tertiary level teachers are responsible for shaping the skills and knowledge of young adults, preparing them for the workforce and further academic pursuits. Their participation will enrich discussions on higher education reforms and the development of a skilled, knowledgeable workforce.
Retired Teachers
KEWOTA leads the way in supporting retired teachers in Kenya through initiatives such as healthcare, table banking, and economic support. The conference is an opportunity to honor the contributions of retired teachers and gain insights from their vast experience, which can inform current educational practices.
Primary School Teachers
Primary school teachers are instrumental in building the foundational skills of literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking in children. The conference will explore strategies to enhance primary education and address the challenges faced at this crucial stage of learning.
Secondary School Teachers
Secondary school teachers guide students through a critical phase of their educational journey, helping them transition from adolescence to adulthood. KEWOTA will provide a platform at the conference to discuss ways to improve secondary education, ensuring students are well-prepared for tertiary education or vocational training.
Junior Secondary Teachers
Junior secondary teachers play a key role in the new competency-based curriculum, bridging the gap between primary and senior secondary education. KEWOTA will facilitate the sharing of best practices and address the unique challenges of this transitional stage in the education system.
Policymakers
Policymakers in education are responsible for shaping the laws, regulations, and policies that govern Kenya’s education system. KEWOTA will offer a platform for policymakers to engage in discussions and proposals around educational strategies aligned with national goals, ensuring that the system evolves to meet the needs of all stakeholders.
Parents Associations
Parents associations are vital partners in education, advocating for the interests of students and ensuring that schools are accountable to the communities they serve. Their representation at the conference will highlight the importance of parental involvement in education, fostering a collaborative approach to improving educational outcomes.
Corporates & NGOs
Corporates and NGOs play a significant role in supporting education through funding, resources, and innovative programs. KEWOTA has been instrumental in building partnerships that enhance educational opportunities, particularly in underserved areas. These organizations will present exhibitions at the conference, showcasing innovative tools, resources, and educational materials designed to enhance teaching practices.
This event promises to be one of the most resourceful gatherings in Kenya’s education sector. KEWOTA is dedicated to ensuring that no one is left behind as we engage in discussions and formulate strategies to break barriers and advance education in Kenya.
The KEWOTA secretariat is working tirelessly to ensure the event is not only enjoyable but also a powerful platform that will bring about positive outcomes in the education sector.
