The government has authorised the Technical and Vocational Education and Training Authority (TVETA) and Kenya Qualifications Authority (KNQA) to continue with the accreditation of training courses at tertiary institutions.

This emerged after a report by the Directorate of University Education revealed that many tertiary institutions are not ready to integrate Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET) curricula in their curriculum in line with expected changes as the country moves into a new education system.
