Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has eulogised Kenya Primary Schools Heads Association (KEPSHA) National Chairman, Johnson Nzioka, as a dedicated educator committed to advancing primary education in Kenya.
Nzioka died on Sunday, February 16, following a road accident in Athi River.
Nzioka, 57, was also the headteacher of Donholm Primary School in Nairobi and had served in the education sector for 38 years.
He rose from a classroom teacher in 1987 to headteacher in 2012 and was later elected as KEPSHA chairman, leading over 23,000 primary school heads across the country.
He held a Higher Diploma in Education Management from the Kenya Education Management Institute (KEMI) and a Bachelor of Education degree from East African University.

Macharia said Nzioka’s leadership legacy would continue through his commitment to shaping the future of primary education and his work with more than 8 million learners.
