KISUMU, Kenya, Oct 15 — The government is expanding technology-based learning in schools, targeting more than 20,000 institutions in two phases as it seeks to bridge the digital divide and equip learners with skills for an increasingly technology-driven economy.
Principal Secretary for Children Services Caren Ageng’o said 64,000 teachers had been trained nationally to integrate digital tools into classroom instruction, as the government rolls out the National Digital Class Experience under the Digital Literacy Programme (DLP).
Ageng’o spoke at Obambo Primary and Junior School in Kisumu West during the launch of the initiative in the county. The national launch was presided over by President William Ruto at Kiminini Junior School in Trans Nzoia County, with principal secretaries overseeing parallel launches in other counties.
