In the past couple of years, since the country’s education system transitioned from the 8-4-4 system to the CBC, there has been notable change in how children in the country experience school. School for these children is now no longer endless mundane theoretical classes from morning till evening, with more homework on the same as was previously.

School now means a new project in Agriculture, a continuation of a recipe in Home-science and more. Children in Kenya are now experiencing first hand, the joys of turning words from a textbook to a tangible item.

For instance, in the last term of the grades 6 and 4, children were engulfed in a crocheting project which counted as part of the final mark. Other classes had the various projects in all the other subjects such as baking, growing a kitchen garden, an arts project using naturally found items and much more.

The education system, as the children are experiencing it, is rich and involving for both the students and the teachers and parents.

When President Ruto came into power, one of the highest priority for his government was the streamlining of the education sector in the country. Streamlining which has brought a peace of mind to Kenyan parents as children look forward to national examinations in the coming week.

The increased funding to the sector will see the development of children’s potential in whichever field they excel and thrive in.

With partnerships with global partners such as the one with the Austrian government, the modernization of the TVETs will contribute to the growth of this potential.

As the CS for Education, Hon. Machogu, mentioned on the 24th of October, “No child is a failure. It’s only us, the adults, who have failed to tap the potential of every child”.
