Provision of adequate resources to Technical, Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions in Kenya is essential in achieving Kenya's development goals as envisioned in the Vision 2030.
Nakuru Deputy Governor, David Kones, asserts that increased resource allocation for TVET institutions would improve their capacity to provide quality training through the purchase of modern technology training equipment and investing in continuous professional development for trainees.
The deputy governor was speaking at Nakuru High School during the first-ever dialogue on quality education and learning outcomes since the introduction of Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) eight years ago.
Kones said the devolution of TVET institutions had seen a significant increase in the number of trainees joining vocational training centres, a move he said had led to a corresponding need for increased resource allocation to enable the institutions produce good-quality skilled labour that could meet current and future market demands.
