Ogamba encouraged schools to institutionalise mentorship programmes, school-based assessments and data-driven tracking to ensure learners gain 21st-century skills.
Basic Education Principal Secretary Julius Bitok urged school heads to adopt e-procurement and embrace the Kenya Education Management Information System, which is being rolled out to replace the National Education Management Information System.
According to Bitok, the new system will support accurate and timely funding of schools.
"KEMIS will address long-standing delays and disparities in school funding," he explained.
He also announced that the government had fast-tracked plans to recruit at least 24,000 new teachers in the next financial year, pushing total recruitment to 100,000 in two years.
