Gov’t to Employ 2,000 More TVET Tutors
President William Ruto recently announced the hiring of an additional 2,000 instructors, demonstrating the government’s commitment to improving Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) institutions around the country. This choice supports the government’s plan to give Kenyan youngsters useful skills by improving the nation’s TVET education industry.
Additionally, President Ruto disclosed that equipment will be given to an extra 70 technical training institutes in Kenya as part of a deal negotiated with the government of China.
This program aims to provide young people’s access to the resources and equipment they need to develop the knowledge and skills that will position them for future employment prospects.
By hiring an astonishing 56,000 teachers in the previous year alone, Ruto highlighted his government’s efforts to address the teacher shortage and set a new record for the Teachers Service Commission. In the upcoming years, he promised to keep on hiring even more people.
Esther Muoria, the senior secretary of the State Department of Technical Vocational Education and Training, has claimed that the ministry is trying to ensure that each constituency in Kenya has a TVET institution. Esther Muoria’s statements are the basis for this announcement. She emphasized that just 52 out of 290 constituencies now lack a TVET institution, and that work is being done to close this gap.
The government’s intention to create 15 TVET institutes during the current fiscal year and an additional 15 during the following year was also announced by Muoria. 20 more are anticipated to be finished in the upcoming fiscal year. The continuous effort to expand access to TVET education across the nation includes this proactive strategy.
Muoria also described the ministry’s plans to set up a regional Kenya School of TVETs center in each of the former provinces. These regional centers will be essential in helping young people acquire skills that are relevant to the workplace, further demonstrating the government’s dedication to improving vocational education in Kenya.
