Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba has announced new measures to  strengthening technical  and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions, citing the need to accommodate the rising number of learners.

Ogamba said as more than 700,000 learners expected to join the institutions, the government will invest in infrastructure and governance reforms to align training with industry needs.

Speaking at PC Kinyanjui Technical Training Institute in Nairobi during the commissioning of a new 600-bed hostel, Ogamba said the government is prioritizing investment in infrastructure and governance reforms to align training with industry demands. "With over 700,000 learners expected to join TVETs, we must expand facilities to provide a safe, modern, and enabling environment for learning.

These investments are crucial for equipping youth with practical skills for the job market," Ogamba said.
