According to a Tuesday announcement in My Gov issue by the Public Service Commission, selected interns will be assigned to schools at the sub-county level.
The commission emphasized that these interns will not only gain hands-on experience and expertise but will also provide essential support for virtual learning platforms and digital educational tools.

The internship responsibilities encompass supporting e-learning initiatives and content creation aligned with curriculum frameworks, providing classroom assistance, and training elementary school educators on digital learning tools.
