NAIROBI, Kenya – At the 5th Annual Kenya Women Teachers Association (KEWOTA) Conference, educators were encouraged to integrate digital tools into their teaching practices to enhance professional growth and advance the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).
The conference underscored the transformative potential of digital learning in reshaping Kenya’s education system.
Benta Opande, KEWOTA’s CEO, highlighted the critical role of technology in the successful implementation of the CBC.
“Digital learning must succeed for CBC to succeed. Without ICT, CBC will remain a dream,” she said.
KEWOTA Chairperson Modesta Akaki outlined the organization’s efforts to bridge the digital gap for teachers.
“We have introduced laptops and partnered with a company to make these accessible to teachers. Additionally, we’ve launched table banking initiatives to financially empower educators. They are growing, and so are we,” Akaki noted.
The conference also featured Harriette Chiggai, the Presidential Advisor on Women’s Rights, who applauded KEWOTA’s dedication to empowering women and fostering education reform.
“Touching one woman’s life impacts an entire family. KEWOTA’s vision aligns with the government’s goals. We must work together to reshape these visions and build a stronger country,” she remarked.
KEWOTA, founded in 2007, has been at the forefront of digital transformation in education.
The association’s partnership with the Estonian government has provided teachers with laptops preloaded with digital textbooks and e-learning tools.
These efforts aim to prepare educators and students for a technology-driven future while uplifting female teachers economically and professionally.
The conference reinforced the need for digital literacy to achieve CBC objectives and adapt to an increasingly digital world.
