Subject learners to more practical exposures

Kenya's Vision 2030 development programmes are projected towards meeting reforms across 10 key sectors; Infrastructure; Science, Technology and Innovation; Public Sector Reforms; Tourism; Agriculture; Trade; Manufacturing; Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and ICT; Financial Services and Education and training.

Neither of these collections of bright ideas can be achieved through dry study of grammar and theory alone. If so, it would otherwise prove a visionary agenda in futility. And that means we become a laughing stock which would be sad.

I know for a fact that for one to have earned employment in any busy Government or private sector, he must have passed through some rigorous technical training process at the NYS that helped shape the skills as well as provide a chance to be self-sufficient in competitive environment of less opportunities. This is what in fact distinguished exceptional from mediocre.

Exposure, therefore, is not touring around learners one afternoon and then back to class in the name of equipping them with both sets of theory and practical skills. It is in fact allowing them to interact one-on-one with the physical dynamics of their bailiwicks.

They should be allowed to demonstrate their innovative abilities in line with technology due to the fast changing nature of the technological world.

It is high time curriculum developers as well as trainers of the same ensure that training contents are packaged and tailored to the standard of mirroring Vision 2030 outlook.
