The government has introduced comprehensive regulations to reform the nation's education and training systems, specifically targeting universities, colleges, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions, and employers. The proposed Kenya National Qualifications Framework (General) Regulations, 2025, developed by the Ministry of Education, aim to standardise qualifications, enhance quality assurance, and align Kenya's education system with international standards.
Central to these regulations is the establishment of a National Qualifications Framework (NQF), a National Qualifications Database, and a system for credit accumulation and transfer.
These initiatives are designed to ensure that qualifications awarded by Kenyan institutions are consistent, transparent, and globally recognised.
The framework also introduces mechanisms for the validation and alignment of qualifications, as well as the registration of qualification-awarding bodies.
