Primary schools will next week receive Sh17,423,514 textbooks for Grade 7 learners.
Education CS Ezekiel Machogu said every learner will receive one textbook for core subjects and optional subjects they will choose.
The government has spent Sh3.1bn on the distribution of books.
“As a result, we are today launching the distribution of a total of 17,893,270 copies of Learner’s Books and 423,514 copies of Teacher’s Guides for Grade 7,” Machogu said.
He added that the books will be distributed between January 30 and February 17.

The event took place at the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD).
