History made as Kenya becomes the First African country to Teach Coding as a Subject in Schools

On August 5, the president of Kenya; Uhuru Kenyatta, officially announced the addition of Coding as a subject into its primary and secondary schools curricula. This landmark achievement makes Kenya the first nation in Africa to endorse the study of coding in schools.

The syllabus will be offered in Kenya and other 48 nations in the world by Kodris Africa, an online publishing company that equips learners with 21st Century skills.
