Ruto challenges universities to prioritise practical skills as 150,000 apply for 50,000 internships

President William Ruto has challenged universities to overhaul their academic programmes to equip students with practical skills and prepare them for the demands of the job market.Speaking at State House, Nairobi, on Thursday during the award of a charter to International Leadership University (ILU), the President said institutions of higher learning must move beyond theoretical classroom instruction and embrace problem-solving approaches that expose learners to real-life challenges in communities, industries and public institutions.
