On June 11, 2020, Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha announced that the government now has comprehensive data on educational institutions in the county, from early childhood centres to university.
The data was compiled by a task force on curriculum reforms chaired by Kenyatta University Deputy Vice-Chancellor Fatuma Chege.
According to CS Magoha, the details of pre-primary to university level institutions can now be accessed from a database at the click of a button.
The task force conducted the exercise in various centres, including the Kenya Institute for Curriculum Development and the Kenya Education Management Institute in Nairobi, and the Centre for Mathematics, Science and Technology Education in Africa (Cemastea) in Nairobi.
Prof Magoha thanked the task force for a professional job, which ensured high levels of accuracy, validity and reliability.
The task force interviewed all education stakeholders countrywide using electronic platforms to achieve the feat because of the Covid-19 pandemic, which limited travel and physical contact.
