The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has developed an integrated and common curriculum for driving schools.
This is in a strategic move to curb road carnage caused due to ineptitude and careless driving.
This has been confirmed by NTSA Chairman Lee Kinyanjui who added that the authority has embarked on phasing out the outdated curriculum which is devoid of new models of the road and safety measures.
"We have come up with a new curriculum to replace the old one when we did not have super highways because in future we will have wider roads with more lane," he said.
He added, "Driving schools should also incorporate the new curriculum in their courses for people to learn them."
Kinyanjui was speaking on Tuesday in Nakuru after meeting PSV operators, Sacco officials, driving schools proprietors, vehicle body builders, traffic police from Rift Valley region in a consultative meeting that will seek modalities of implementing the curriculum in more than 500 accredited driving schools in the county.
According to Kinyanjui, the new curriculum will have comprehensive modules in first aid skills, driving along modern roundabouts, and interchanges, use of Super Highways, customer care skills among other modules pertinent to driving in emerging and developed economies.
