Education ministry to roll out strategic plan

 

Cabinet Secretary for Education Ezekiel Machogu 

The Ministry of Education will this morning roll out its 4th National Education Sector Strategic Plan.

The plan spells out policy priorities, programmes and strategies for the education

sector over the next five years.

It will further guide the Ministry in providing access, equity, and quality education and training to the citizens for the period.

Cabinet Secretary for Education Ezekiel Machogu will preside over the launch at Kenya School of Government (KSG) in Lower Kabete at 9.00am.

Among the policy issues, the plan will address access and participation in education, equity and inclusivity education quality and relevance and education governance and accountability among others.

The Constitution of Kenya 2010, underscores the provision of quality education and training as a right and a fundamental to the success of the government’s overall development strategies.

The plan cuts across the three state departments covering programmes from pre-primary to university.

The CS in February during the presentation on the Draft National Education Sector Strategic Plan (NESSP) 2023-2027 told stakeholders that the ministry had aligned its strategies, activities and budget with the national government to improve efficiency.

He said the document was quite inclusive since it brought together strategic partners and development partners, who made contributions on the way forward in achieving key targets.
