Alef Education, the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD), and UNICEF have signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) to integrate climate change education into the curriculum in public schools across Kenya.

The MoU establishes a structure for collaboration between the three organisations to develop and deliver a climate
education course that complements the existing school curriculum developed by KICD under the guidance of the Ministry of
Education (MoE).

The content will be delivered through KICD’s Kenya Education Cloud platform, which is a nationwide digital learning initiative
that connects schools to education and learning resources.

Alef Education, a K-12 EdTech company headquartered in the UAE, provides digital content for climate education, including

educational videos, quizzes, and interactive materials on carbon literacy.

The content, the company explained, is designed to equip learners and educators with the tools they need to understand

and address the complexities of climate change, it was shared.

Commenting on the agreement, Prof. Charles Ochieng Ong’ondo, CEO of KICD, said that leveraging the available digital
platform and integrating climate change education into the curriculum is a “critical step” in building a sustainable society.
