Catherine Njeru Muthuri, the deputy principal of Lower Chure Secondary School in Meru County, has gained attention for her inspiring decision to wear the school uniform, typically reserved for students, while at work.
Muthuri, also a Kiswahili teacher, made this change to lead by example and promote a culture of discipline and equality among the students.
Since she started wearing the student uniform, the response from the students has been overwhelmingly positive.
Muthuri explained that the idea behind wearing the uniform was to encourage better compliance with the school's rules, especially regarding uniforms.
"When I started wearing the uniform, my students followed suit because they realized that if I can wear it, so can they," she said.
Her actions have significantly improved the discipline in the school, and students now take the uniform policy more seriously.
Muthuri wears the uniform three times a week, and she admits that it brings a sense of youthfulness.
"I often feel like I’m 16 again when I wear the uniform," she shared with a smile.
This lighthearted approach to school rules has resonated with the students, creating a more relaxed and approachable atmosphere between the staff and the learners.
The deputy principal's initiative has led to a stronger bond between the students and teachers.
Muthuri’s actions challenge the traditional view that uniforms are meant solely for students and not for teachers.
By making this gesture, she has bridged the gap between her role as a teacher and the students, showing them that the rules apply to everyone equally.
