Kenya to send English teachers to Djibouti to support language training and untegration in new agreement.
In an effort to integrate English into its courses, Kenya will send English teachers to Djibouti.
The teachers will promote English language training and its incorporation into Djibouti’s curricula in accordance with the agreement reached between President William Ruto and President Ismail Omar of Djibouti.
The participation of French language trainees from Djibouti will also aid Kenyan students in Technical and Vocational Education Training institutions and medical training institutes.
The President claimed that this will improve the linguistic skills of Kenyan graduates looking for work overseas.
“We have further agreed to expedite the negotiation of a framework that enables the reciprocal recognition of certificates issued by our respective institutions of higher learning,” Ruto said.
“I have informed the President that Kenya is extending an offer of 300 positions in our higher learning institutions to Djiboutian students, at the same fees applicable to Kenyan students,” he added.
Ruto is in Djibouti to participate in the 14th Ordinary Assembly of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD).
The summit which is expected to take place on June 12, 2023, will mark the first IGAD summit since 2019.
It will emphasize the importance of promoting regional diplomacy and cooperation.
