KEWOTA Advocates Digital Integration in Education for Professional Growth and CBC Success
Educators have been called upon to integrate digital tools into their teaching practices to improve methodologies and boost professional growth.
This appeal was made during the 5th Annual Conference of the Kenya Women Teachers Association (KEWOTA), where participants highlighted how digital learning could revolutionize the education system, particularly within the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).
The conference underscored the importance of digital learning in achieving CBC objectives. KEWOTA CEO Benta Opande emphasized that for the CBC framework to succeed, ICT integration is essential, without which CBC would remain unachieved.
KEWOTA Chairperson Modesta Akaki detailed the organization’s efforts to ease teachers into the digital age while simultaneously improving their financial stability.
