Mathematics often evokes mixed emotions—fascination for some and dread for others. However, whether you love it or not, math is an essential part of life. From managing personal finances to understanding technology, its applications are everywhere. This blog explores why math matters, how it empowers critical thinking, and ways to embrace its utility in our daily lives, even if equations aren’t your favorite thing.

Empowering girls through mathematics is no longer a question of equality alone; it is an economic imperative. As the global economy increasingly relies on technology and innovation, mathematics serves as the backbone for numerous opportunities in STEM careers. Yet, societal norms, stereotypes, and educational disparities often hinder girls from realizing their potential in this critical subject. By addressing these barriers and fostering an inclusive learning environment, we can equip the girl child with the tools to excel in mathematics and, consequently, in the modern economy.

In a rapidly evolving world, the ability to understand and manage economic dynamics is no longer optional; it is essential. Business studies as a subject equips students with practical knowledge and skills that not only prepare them for the workforce but also enable them to think critically, innovate, and lead in a competitive global economy. With Kenya poised to become a key economic player in Africa, driven by initiatives such as Vision 2030, the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), and regional trade agreements like AfCFTA, it is imperative that students gain a solid foundation in business principles. This blog explores why business studies must remain a cornerstone of Kenya’s educational curriculum to empower the next generation for the challenges and opportunities of the future.
