The TSC boss has since stated that Tabichi would be promoted, given a certificate of recognition and his name forwarded to the office of the Presidency in order to receive a state commendation.

The maths and science teacher was on Sunday awarded Sh100 million (USD 1 million after bagging the Varkey Foundation 2019 Global Teacher Prize.

He, however, had to follow a set of conditions in order to receive the money.

One of the rules to be followed include that he must continue teaching or providing educational support for the next five years, to students aged between 5 and 18 years in a school set up.
