Gov't committed to investing in education for youth, Ruto says

Speaking during the 46th KDF pass-out parade at the Defence Forces Recruit Training School in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County, the Head of State said the country’s progress depends on its people, and there is a need to strengthen the education sector. 

“The single most critical asset we have as a nation is our human capital. And that is the reason why we are investing huge resources in education, the training of the children of Kenya. And it is the reason why we are hiring more teachers, expanding learning spaces, developing a new model for university education, making sure that we have hostels and dormitories so that we can give the best opportunity for the young people of Kenya to be their best,” he said. 

The Head of State added that the government was planning for the future to safeguard the next generation. 

“And the way to ensure that the people of the nation of Kenya are well prepared is through education, training, and college. Therefore, work hard and do your part. I want to assure you, your parents, and the government of Kenya that we will do our part."

He noted that the government is continuing to employ more teachers, expand learning spaces, roll out a new model for university funding, and ensure the availability of hostels for students.
