At Pick A Book Kenya we believe that information and knowledge are fuel for the human spirit. They foster understanding, discovery, enjoyment, learning, and commerce around the globe. We believe in a world where people always have access to the information they need, advancing their lives so they can advance the lives of others.
Learning and the use of technology in education is becoming one of the most important requirements in the modern age, and hence, the government of Kenya has accelerated efforts in the implementation of learning as a top priority within their national projects’ long-term plans such as the Competency-Based Curriculum. Since early inspections of technology specialists agreed on the role of technology and its effectiveness in the development of the educational process of communities, which keeps pace with the requirements of the future, there is no retreat from its application or doubt in its success.
We cannot imagine our students and our teachers without mastery of technology nor without the use of computers and the Internet, and we cannot compare a state to another developed country without a considerable measure of the use and application of technology in education. Aware of the importance of this sector and due to its long and rich experience; Pick A Book Kenya has insisted to be an innovator in the field of e-commerce and its applications.
MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Now that educational content can reach everyone via the world wide web and improved access to the internet, we at Pick A Book Kenya are seeing it as a development playground where there is a precious benefit beyond an article, a lesson, a movie, or a video game. Everyone has an innate interest in learning a new skill, developing their career, or even the most fundamental capabilities to read, write, do the math, and understand science. Our online marketplace has valuable benefits of content, because, in general, we give customers immediate gratification and better self-improvement.
When you complete or even create a lesson or a course, you know that you have added a lot to yourself intellectually, and that creates emotion and personal gratification that – eventually -reinforces our true objectives at Pick A Book Kenya. Our Solution is created to develop an educational experience and provide professional development for professionals to be the best in engaging the 21st-century learning world. While limited in their logistic or geographic marketplace, they can excel and adapt the latest instructional learning material, from theoretical into practical deliverables within high-quality educational content.
The opportunity is now for us to leverage the market expansion and become the leader in this field. To accomplish this, additional marketing and sales presence will be provided, and alternative distribution models will be utilized. We will include our best workforces, talents, and specialists’ integration and incorporate our best methods to elevate clients’ needs and serve them in the best way.
Yours truly,
George Kiarie Kibochi
