Education Ministry Reveals List Of Diploma Courses With High Job Demand
A very good gesture that will see many children benefit especially those in schools like Wangu , Ronald Ngara primary schools being assured of their secondary and college education.
Would be glad to work with them to see the likes of Joseph Kariuki Watiri a young man from that area who is in secondary have the life they yearn for.
May this family be blessed forever.

hey… the fact that Kuppc does not help diploma students who enrolled with them to continue with their education like bachelor’s degree through them is really disappointing….
Agreed, ????…TIVET Structure offers a detailed and well researched course outlines. The teaching at this level is practical at colleges. It’s about imparting skills not jz acquiring a higher level of education for PR. Employers shd throw their eyes TIVET/STEM-where quality is…
