The Equity Group Foundation is seeking ways to modify the scholarship program due to changes in the education system from 8-4-4 to the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).
Equity Group CEO James Mwangi said the changes will be necessary to allow every child in Kenya to get access to quality education.
On Wednesday, the foundation hosted 2,637 Wings to Fly and Elimu Scholarship beneficiaries who are in forms one and two, from the Nairobi region.
The scholars are part of the 18,577 scholars being hosted for similar congresses nationwide in 18 regions.
Mwangi said the students, will be the last cohort of Equity scholarship beneficiaries, under the 8-4-4 system.
“We are sitting together with our partners and we are working out the modalities of how to accommodate the change in the education system. So essentially, we are reforming the program based on the circumstances and to respond to the challenges of our time,” Mwangi said.
He reiterated that the foundation will continue supporting vulnerable children throughout the program and in all their life phases.
“Equity Group Foundation is committed and will remain committed. We have the assurance of our partners that we will continue to support the Kenyan children,” Mwangi said.
