VVOB supported education in Kenya from 1988 until 2013, and renewed its commitment in 2021.

 

To ensure the education system equips learners with 21st Century skills, Kenya put forward an ambitious competence-based curriculum (CBC) reform in 2016. The Kenya Ministry of Education has conducted teacher training to support the rollout of the new curriculum, however, there is need to enhance the capacity of school leaders to effectively lead the change process.

 

To address this need, VVOB has partnered with the Ministry of Education and the Kenya Education Management Institute (KEMI) to develop and implement an app-based blended learning trajectory for school leaders through the ‘INCREASE’ programme (2022-2026). ‘INCREASE’ - Implementing National Curriculum Reforms through App-based learning for school leaders in Secondary Education, aims at equipping school leaders with strong instructional leadership skills to effectively support teachers and the school community in the implementation of the CBC.

Current focus:

VVOB in Kenya commenced its operations in February 2022.
Currently, our focus is on:

  • Primary Education
  • General Secondary Education
  • Secondary Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET)

Our key areas of work include:

  • School leadership development: implementing a continuous professional development diploma and app-based blended learning trajectory for school leaders
  • Blended learning: combining learning modalities - in-person and online (app-based training with built-in feedback loops) - to enable flexibility for school leaders to effectively achieve their learning outcomes
