Building on the National Qualifications framework for the next decade

The qualifications landscape in Kenya a decade ago was a maze of disconnected paths and uncertain learning outcomes. A student embarking on a technical craft certificate often finds themselves at a structural dead end, where their practical mastery becomes more of a terminal point rather than a stepping stone for a defined pathway. In higher education, their prior years of rigorous technical training often counted for little if anything in the qualification process. This compelled many to start from the absolute bottom if they wished to pursue a degree.
