Machogu called on stakeholders to collaborate in implementing the plans detailed in the roadmap, which aims to provide quality education and produce globally competitive and industrious learners.
The document provides a framework for the Ministry to ensure access, equity, and quality education and training for all citizens during this period.
The plan encompasses all three state departments, covering programs from pre-primary to university education.
