Matiang’i seeks to increase uptake of science subjects in varsities

Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i has ordered the selection of 47 secondary schools countrywide, whose science teachers will be re-trained.

Matiang’i said the training is meant to increase the uptake of STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) at the university level, which he described as alarming. The order was given to the Centre for Mathematics Science and Technology Africa, which will be required to submit the chosen schools by May.
