The County Government of Nakuru is integrating Information Communication Technology (ICT) in Early Childhood Development Education Centres (ECDE) in order to improve learning outcomes.
County Executive Committee Member (CECM) Education, ICT, and e-government Ms Zipporah Wambui said that though the county's vast geography and diverse demographics hindered traditional educational outreach, the proliferation of internet connectivity, mobile phones and laptops offers a means to reach even the most remote communities.
Ms Wambui further said that Governor Susan Kihika's administration was investing in digital infrastructure and leveraging on mobile platforms towards ensuring that educational content could be disseminated widely, ensuring that every child in the devolved unit had access to quality learning resources.
Speaking during a meeting with officials from Education Impact (EIDU), a digital platform that provides educational content to public schools, the CECM indicated that ICT plays a pivotal role in addressing systematic challenges such as infrastructure limitations and teacher shortages.
