A government initiative aimed at increasing enrollment in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions is showing significant progress. Enrollment numbers have risen from 375,000 to 600,000.
Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba announced this achievement today. He was speaking to principals from across the country at a three-day retreat in Mombasa. The retreat, held at the Pride Inn Paradise resort, focuses on “Strengthening leadership, governance and innovation for transformative TVET institutions.”
CS Ogamba stated that a nationwide sensitization campaign is underway. This multi-agency effort includes National Government Administration Officers (NGAO) and aims to reach the government’s target of two million TVET enrollees.
He highlighted a positive shift in public perception. More qualified students are now choosing TVET programmes for practical skills. This marks a change from the view that these institutions were only for those who missed university placement.
