Published on July 5, 2019, the UK's move aims to enhance the learning experience of Kenyan students.
The United Kingdom's immigration laws will soon be changed to allow Kenyan students to enjoy more time for industrial attachments and internships after they complete their courses.
Outgoing British High Commissioner to Kenya Nic Hailey made the announcement during a meeting with Deputy President William Ruto at his Karen office in Nairobi.
"It is through attachments and internships that best practices and innovations are hatched," Mr Hailey noted.
Mr Hailey's four-year term will end in July, and he expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to serve Kenya and the UK.
Deputy President Ruto congratulated Mr Hailey on his work and expressed Kenya's commitment to sustaining its engagement with the UK.
"We will always be looking for opportunities to partner with the UK so as to better our development trajectory," he said.
Mr Ruto also appreciated Britain's support in stabilising the region and called for a more coordinated approach to tackle the terrorism challenge.
