The Ministry of Education has aligned its strategies, activities and budget with the national government. This is aimed at improving efficiency and service delivery.

Speaking earlier today at the at the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development, the Education CS, Hon. Machogu noted that the stakeholder comments, will be considered and included before the final document is published and shared during the launch which has been slated at end of February 2024. 

“The draft is as a result of three working workshops, held prior to today’s validation, which was all inclusive, to reflect the wishes of the strategic partners and stakeholders,” said the Minister.

Hon. Machogu who is serving as the vision carrier of the Ministry, guided through a chapter to chapter review of the document, capturing and incorporating missing links, to comprehensively consider the change from 8-4-4 to CBC system and how to mitigate challenges in the increased numbers to attain 100 per cent transition.

The Principal Secretary for the State Department for Basic Education, Dr. Belio Kipsang said the Strategic Plan, equally doubles as an investment document and not to be another shelving document, in the performance process.

The PS affirmed that the document will culminate to an investment document, such that when going into engagement as an investment document, then it’ll be easier to move forward.

He challenged the stakeholders to think of how to achieve the objectives and key targets with view of a joint sector review, reflections and move forward, based on knowledge from previous strategic plans.
