An online directory for search of information on education has been launched in the country.

It offers comprehensive information on institutions of higher learning whether local, international, government or privately owned.

The web version has incorporated four directories including one with information on the finance sector and health care.

Another site that will feature locally made products, is still under construction.

Mr Mugo Kibati, director general of Vision 2030 said there's need to access education and information via the website.

Soft skills

“Development of soft skills should be emphasised more in the education system and the training of human resources pool as the sector grooms the next generation of Kenyans who will live the vision,” he said during the launch.

The first Kenya education directory, a 60 page book, was published in 1990 while the web version that rolled out on Thursday includes a one-time click to access information on kindergartens, primary and high schools.

    Onyangofred2, why do you have to be so pessimistic? instead of congratulating them for a good step forward you are already planning how to attack the website? seriously? Good work Mr Kibati, it is a good step forward. I will visit the sight, not to prove that I can attack it but to see whats in it

    Just give us the address so that we can evaluate the security mechanisms deployed. Hope he's taken into account SQL injection, Man in the middle attacks, Denial of services, and many more. Give us the URL good people, and we'll show you how that site can be down in seconds.
