President Uhuru Kenyatta presided over the launch of Computer Coding, a subject set for countrywide rollout in primary and secondary Schools. “I applaud the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development for leading our nation to this landmark achievement, by implementing coding as a critical skill within our new Competency Based Curriculum,” President Kenyatta stated. The master plan also guides investors while planning their investment priorities,” President Kenyatta said. Cabinet Secretaries Joe Mucheru (ICT) and Prof. George Magoha (Education) were among the senior government officials who attended the event. CS Mucheru noted that after the launch of the coding curriculum barely two months ago, the private sector swiftly took it up and more than 317 private schools are already teaching Coding.
