The Technical Working Committee (TWC), appointed by the Cabinet Secretary for Education conducted a high-level drafting workshop (April 20th–25th, 2026) to establish Kenya’s National Micro-Credentials Framework.

The event was graced by the Principal Secretary for the State Department for TVET (PS-SDTVET), Dr. Esther Muoria, alongside the KNQA Director General, Dr. Alice Kande.
