Dr Chandaria said a quantum jump in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects in primary and secondary school was necessary to harness the untapped potential in Kenyan youth. The Kenya Country Director of Global Peace Foundation Mr Daniel Juma Omondi emphasized the importance of character and creativity in the education system because it inculcates values and discipline in students, hence stirring innovation. He said plans were under way to have the Leap Hubs now present in 24 schools across the country in all the 192 STEM schools.
