Karumo Technical Training Institute (TTI) in Meru County has been ranked the top institution in the eastern region and fifth nationally, in a recent annual survey, a move that marks a significant milestone in its academic and administrative excellence.
The survey which was conducted recently evaluated institutions based on key performance indicators including student enrollment, academic consistency, and absence of perennial student strikes.
The Institute Principal Florah Kanyua attributed the success to a culture of discipline and goal-setting among both trainers and trainees.
“Our trainers set achievable targets and we work diligently as a team to achieve them. The institute recorded a mean score of 92 percent last year in November and we have consistently maintained our performance between 80 to 85 percent,” said Kanyua.
She emphasized the importance of proactive student engagement.

She said they usually listen to their students and address their concerns before they escalate to issues like strikes.
The institution also boasts of well-equipped workshops and a team of qualified trainers retooled in the Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET) curriculum, ensuring students acquire industry-relevant skills.
“Our trainers and trainees are also focused and committed to maintaining the standards set by their predecessors and therefore continue to work hard all the time,” Kanyua added.
Deputy Principal in charge of administration, Mathews Nkarichia, praised the staff and students for their dedication and urged them to continue striving for excellence.
