• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: As they give us that information, we are also able to put this through in terms of the legislation required and challenges they are facing. An example is integration in the TIVET centres where also the special needs come in as intergraded rather than having separate centres. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: In yesterday’s newspapers pullout where we had the World Skills Day, they talked about agribusiness and agri-processing. That is the way forward; that we need to have an appropriate approach that has these centres in commercial activities. In Kenya where 80 percent of the population resides in the rural areas and is involved in agriculture, it becomes a very important business for us. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: The route for industrialization apart from mechanization and manufacturing is clearly in agri-business. It would be very good if we progress that. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: The policy is already in place. We have been able to talk to the Principal Secretary, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) in this sector and the Council of Governors Chair in charge of TIVET. We have heard a lot about what they are doing to ensure TIVET centre remains alive. It is only a question of checking on one or two things. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: As a Committee, we are still planning to proceed to these counties to see exactly what is happening on the ground and ensure the machinery is in place, teaching is going on and that what they are learning is relevant. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: Kenya is also a member of the Acclaimed World Skills International, which means we need to showcase that we are moving an inch further to ensuring we are focusing on skills and how to develop them. That report also said there were 26 centres of excellence and we heard the same from the Chair of CoG. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Bill is straightforward. It intends to put the structures in place to ensure TIVET centres can run in a very systematic way from the elaboration and the bodies that are coming into it. Already we have the Technical and Vocational Education and Training Curriculum Development Assessment and Certification Council that has several responsibilities in the training. That is going to be part of the Act. We also have the County Education Board. As Sen. Cherargei said, a lot of responsibility had been put on the CEC Member. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: Going through the various Clauses of the Bill, the CECM working in collaboration with the Authority, we are not going to give the CECM direct responsibility on their own. Any decision that has to be made - many have to be made at the county level - is going to be made at the level of the CECM but she or he has the responsibility to ensure that it is well entrenched within the Authority. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: We also have the Board of Governors, which will be very instrumental in streamlining some of these issues. view
