Pupils of Golden Elites in Kisumu County take part in the piloting of the new education curriculum which begun on June 12 2017. The curriculum is set to transform the education and give learners opportunity to exploit their talents. 2000 teachers have so far completed the second phase of training of the new 2-6-3-3 education system set to replace the current 8-4-4 system.

A wave of excitement washed over schools across the country as the pilot phase of the new education curriculum kicked off yesterday.

Delays witnessed in the start of the new system in some schools did little to dampen the spirits of pupils and teachers at the pre-primary level, eager to try out the new system rolled out by the Kenya Institute for Curriculum Development (KICD).
