Ruto while hosting Chancellor Olaf Scholz announces the introduction of the German language in Kenyan schools.
President William Ruto has announced that going forward, learning institutions will learn the German language.
Speaking during the joint press with Chancellor Olaf Scholz at State House, Nairobi, Ruto said the move will enable the two countries to bridge the language gap.
“We agreed to introduce teaching and learning of German in basic education institutions, TVET, and other institutions of higher learning,” Ruto said.
Ruto added Germany has agreed to support Kenya to train more teachers to assist in the language.
“We agreed to align as much as possible the Kenyan and German TVET curriculum,” he said.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Ruto also agreed to establish a twinning institutions framework that will pair Kenya’s TVET colleges with those in Germany.

He will later visit the Africa Union (AU) offices, the focus being regional and international security.
