President William Ruto has announced education reforms targeting Northern Kenya and other marginalised regions.

President Ruto directed the formal integration of Madrassa, Duksi, and the Programme for Pastoral Instruction into the national education framework to ensure all learners have recognised pathways into education and future opportunities.

Speaking during this year’s Madaraka Day celebrations held in Wajir County for the first time, President Ruto said education remains the government’s most important investment in transforming historically marginalised areas and unlocking national development.
