In March this year, the Cabinet restored the operation of the Technical and Vocational Education and Training – Curriculum Development Assessment and Certification Council (TVET-CDACC)
The Cabinet reversed an earlier decision made during the tenure of President Uhuru Kenyatta of abolishing the TVET-CDACC in 2022.
The decision was made in line with the goal of enhancing the ability of TVETs to equip the youth with technical skills meant to help them better contribute to national development.
