Discussions on the Ministry of Education's preparedness to effectively integrate Arts and Sports as viable pathways in senior secondary schools took center stage during the ongoing 63rd National Drama and Film Festivals in Nakuru City.

Thespians and teachers questioned how the Arts, in particular, would be mainstreamed, given the existing challenges in the creative sector, especially as the first cohort of Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) learners prepares to transition to senior school next year.

These discussions took place during the inaugural conference, which was held alongside the festivals and featured experts from the creative sector.

During the conference, it was revealed that although Kenya's creative industry hold significant untapped potential, it receives minimal support from the government.
