Let schools second term run smoothly

It’s back to school from Tuesday after the short April holidays. And as the second starts, parents, teachers and learners will be anxious over what lies ahead. Indeed, there is a lot to look forward to under the school calendar. Chief among these is the continued roll-out of the Competency-Based Curriculum.

Already, the Ministry of Education has promised that all teachers will have been trained on the new system by August. We hope this will effectively stem anxiety over implementation of the new curriculum. Grade Three pupils are the first learners to undergo the new system of education, hailed as an improved version that supports nurturing individual talent and capability.
