President William Ruto has directed Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba to integrate informal and religious learning systems, such as madrasas, into Kenya's formal education system.

• The directive aims to ensure no child is excluded from learning due to geography, neglect, or unrecognized alternative education pathways.
• Key stakeholders in the Basic Education Act will be consulted to develop proposals for formal recognition.
• This reform specifically targets the inclusion of madrasa, Tulsi, and pastoral instruction programmes, which are currently outside the national framework.
