The teachers expressed concerns that some of the CBC textbooks are substandard. Indeed, at the beginning of the year, several of the textbooks were flagged for glaring errors and had to be recalled. Additionally, lack of adequate funds, inadequate infrastructure and failure to meet the government set pupil-textbook ratio of 1:1 could hinder the seamless implementation of CBC. KePSHA has demanded teachers’ involvement in the choice of textbooks to improve quality. It now behoves the Ministry of Education to heed this altruistic call from teachers for, ultimately, it is the teachers who have the difficult task of imparting knowledge long after the textbook authors and publishers have pocketed their money and left. CBC should be made to work as envisioned.Do not miss out on the latest news. Join the Standard Digital Telegram channel HERE.
