Jubilee Party deputy leader Fred Matiang'i has said the country is facing its toughest crisis in the education sector.

Addressing faithful at Kinoru Methodist Church in Meru on Sunday, Dr Matiang'i blamed the situation on mismanagement of resources, poor leadership and other factors.

The Jubilee Party deputy leader, who was accompanied by PNU leader Peter Munya, Meru Deputy Governor Linda Kiome-Gitonga and other leaders, said the government must accept that it has failed in the management of the sector and embrace dialogue with stakeholders to find remedies to the crisis for the sake of children's education and future.
