It also opens the doors for students from all backgrounds and faiths to a nationally recognised qualification.

The event was attended by, among other guests, TVET-CDACC representative Mr. Bernard Ngeno, Islamic University of Kenya’s Dr. Ali Sunkar, Islamic University in Uganda’s Dr. Jamil Serwanga, Islamic Foundation Kenya Chairman Brother Mohamed Ayub Khalid, and Mombasa County’s CECM for Education, Dr. Mbwarali Kame. Dr. Jamil Serwanga linked the achievement to the historic 1974 OIC Lahore resolution, stating: “As we deliberate on Ummah development, we are paving the way for the next generation.”

Dr. Musa Shauri described the TVET-CDACC validated curriculum as a milestone that opens formal employment and career progression opportunities for madrassa graduates through recognition of prior learning within Kenya’s Competency-Based Education system. Remarkably, Arabic now joins Kenya Sign Language with formalized TVET curricula nationwide.
