Kenya is exploring the introduction of nuclear science and technology to secondary school learners as it strengthens Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education under the Competency-Based Education system. Speaking during a regional meeting in Nairobi attended by representatives from 10 countries, Research and Innovation PS Shaukat Abdulrazak said curriculum reforms should expose learners to nuclear science before university. He noted that nuclear technology already supports Kenya’s priorities in healthcare, agriculture, water resources and industry.
