Kindiki: Govt committed to growing creative industry and talent

At least 30% of the secondary schools in the country will, from next year, be set aside for the arts and sports pathway in the competence-based education curriculum to help nurture talent and create opportunities for millions of youth. Deputy President Kithure Kindiki announced that the transition to grade ten in the reformed education model will help students focus on their areas of strength. Addressing more than 5,000 sports men and women from Meru, Embu and Tharaka Nithi counties, Kindiki defended the Kenya kwanza administration's performance in the arts, creative economy and sports sectors, citing the construction of modern stadia, the establishment of sports academies and digital hubs to harness skills and talents, while shielding the youth from societal vices and exposure to narcotics and drug abuse.
