The government is in the process of overhauling the curriculum of the Kenya School of Agriculture (KSA) to introduce the use of technology in a bid to enhance training, Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe has said.
Mutahi, who spoke on Tuesday, June 3, during the International Flouriculture Trade Expo (IFTEX), said the ministry is keen to introduce technology-related courses in a whole plan that will also include the use of drones, AI, and big data in their training.
The new courses will be marketed across the institution's 10 campuses, Mutahi said, adding that the government is in the process of elevating the institution's infrastructural capacity to accommodate the new courses and facilities. The CS said the institution will also seek to reinforce its collaboration with other institutions across the globe, especially through the seasonal-workers-placement (SWP) programme, which enables Kenyan students and farmers to work and learn about agriculture in the UK.
