The Nation Media Group's Newspapers in Education (NIE) programme, which aims to improve literacy and reading culture among learners in Kenyan schools, has improved language performance by 15 per cent.
NMG Head of External Affairs Clifford Machoka said the initiative, which started 14 years ago, has reached over 1,500 learning institutions in at least 40 counties and has seen steady improvement in languages by up to 15 percent after schools adopted the programme.
