Speaking during a meeting with the National Assembly Committee on Education on October 23, 2024, she said few teachers had trained in science subjects.
Macharia noted that most graduates had undertaken arts studies hence the scarcity of science subjects.
“We are not saying that these teachers are not trained but the majority of teachers who come from the colleges including the universities have studied arts. People who go for higher qualifications also go for arts,” she stated.
However, Macharia stated that they had issued advisories to the Ministry of Education and Universities to encourage more students to take up science subjects.
