Kenya Institute for Curriculum Development (KICD) Director Julius Jwan said training would start after the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education exams.
Dr Jwan said the training was meant to equip primary school teachers with necessary skills to implement the new curriculum effectively.
