Speaking during an education forum on the sidelines of the Second World Summit for Social Development, in Doha, Qatar, on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, Ruto also noted that education models should be focused on reimagining learning to end poverty, create decent work, promote inclusion, and seize opportunities in the digital age.
”In Kenya, we have reformed our curriculum to a competency-based model, recruited more teachers to close the staffing gap, and increased education funding by nearly one billion dollars to ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive,” President William Ruto said.
