The Kenyan government has joined forces with technology giant Google to launch an extensive coding program in primary and secondary schools, in a groundbreaking collaboration.

Unveiled on the occasion of Jamhuri Day, this ambitious initiative aims to empower over four million students and equip 42,000 educators with essential coding skills, representing a significant leap towards digital transformation.

President William Ruto announced the collaborative endeavor during the commemoration, emphasizing Google’s partnership with the Ministries of Education, ICT, and the Digital Economy to implement the coding program.

The initiative, which has received approval from the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD), marks a notable stride in integrating coding into the country’s educational framework.

“Google, in collaboration with the Ministries of Education and ICT, has launched a KICD-sponsored coding program tailored for primary and secondary schools, aiming to engage over four million learners.

Additionally, the partnership is geared towards providing training for 42,000 teachers,” affirmed President Ruto during the announcement.

Although specific details about the participating schools were not immediately disclosed, the introduction of the program aligns seamlessly with Kenya’s focus on digital literacy within the competency-based curriculum (CBC).

Recognizing the paramount importance of coding, which involves translating human intentions into commands comprehensible to computers, this initiative signifies a crucial step in preparing students for the evolving digital landscape.

The collaboration represents a watershed moment in expanding coding education across the country, joining previous initiatives led by entities such as Safaricom and KCB.

These efforts collectively contribute to the advancement of digital literacy within Kenyan educational institutions. As the partnership takes shape, it heralds a new era in education—one where coding becomes an integral component in shaping future-ready, digitally adept generations poised to thrive in the modern world.
