Kenya's Ministry of Education is set to integrate foreign language courses into the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) curriculum to enhance job prospects for graduates abroad.

• The initiative aims to align training with global labor demands, with Germany offering nearly 50,000 employment opportunities to Kenyans, requiring language proficiency.
• Principal Secretary for TVET, Esther Muoria, announced the plan on Tuesday, May 12, emphasizing language skills as crucial for international competitiveness.
• The program will first focus on training TVET trainers and examiners before being rolled out to students, ultimately shifting the success metric from graduation numbers to employability in both local and global industries.
