Kenya has officially launched the National Integration of ICT Learning in Junior Schools, a nationwide programme aimed at accelerating digital learning and strengthening the delivery of the Competency-Based Education (CBE) curriculum.
Implemented under the Kenya Digital Economy Acceleration Project (KDEAP) with support from the World Bank, the initiative will equip 10,382 public junior schools with teacher laptops and interactive smart boards to enhance digital teaching and learning. The programme also includes internet connectivity, digital learning content, technical support and continuous monitoring to support a comprehensive digital education ecosystem.
Ahead of the rollout, more than 62,000 junior school teachers have been trained to integrate digital technologies into classroom instruction. During the launch, a live Integrated Science lesson was delivered simultaneously to schools across six counties, demonstrating how technology can improve access to quality education regardless of location.
The initiative complements Kenya’s broader Digital Superhighway Programme and reflects the country’s commitment to building a digitally skilled workforce while ensuring learners across the country are prepared for the future digital economy.
