The Ministry of Education has announced 1,300 vacancies for volunteer graduate assistants under the G-United national volunteer programme. The programme targets university graduates aged between 22-30 years who will be deployed to do voluntary work in 20 counties. The programme, currently in its fourth cohort, is a government initiative that trains young graduates in professionals skills and sends them to volunteer their services to counties. "Volunteers become 'education ambassadors' who provide remedial education support to young learners and contribute to the improvement of the quality of education in Kenya," read a statement from PS Belio Kipsang's office. The services of the volunteers will likely come in handy as the ministry rolls out the new competency based 2-6-3-3-3 curriculum in grades one and two.
