Professor Sam Ongeri told media that they had rejcted foreign concepts in favour of locally-devised one to digitalise the country’s education system.
“A number of people have in the past came to us with foreign e-learning content for us to adopt but we have rejected them so that that we can develop our very content,” he said at the launch of Kenya’s first phase of a curriculum e-learning project by the Kenya Institute of Education.
The digitilisation project will allow both public secondary and primary schools to start e-learning.
