Teachers in several regions yesterday defied their union to attend training on the new curriculum as Education CS George Magoha vowed not to back down on its implementation.

Prof Magoha, who spoke while launching the training targeting 91,320 teachers at Uhuru Gardens Primary School in Nairobi, said the government has invested heavily in the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) thus abandoning it would be imprudent.
