TVET torch goes around Kenya to encourage enrolments

Kenya’s Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu has explained why a huge technical and vocational education and training (TVET) torch is going round the country as the higher institutions of learning mark 100 years of existence, writes Lindwe Danflow for The Star.

Machogu on Wednesday 29 May noted that the torch was in Nyanza region this week, particularly in Migori county. The TVET torch was launched by President William Ruto two months ago at the Nyeri National Polytechnic before it started going round the country.

“The purpose of the torch really is to get to every corner of the country creating awareness that our young people should not stay home even if they scored a D,” Machogu said. “Nobody should stay home. They should be able to take an opportunity of training in a TVET or TTI [technical training institute],” Machogu said.
