A High Court three-judge bench yesterday unanimously agreed that it was impossible to abolish the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) eight years after Kenya did away with the 8-4-4 system.
Although justices Hedwig Ong'udi, Anthony Mrima and Anthony Ndung'u threw out the larger part of the case, which had initially been filed by lawyer Esther Ang'awa and subsequently taken over by lawyer Nelson Havi, they ruled that there is need to amend the Basic Education Act to align it to the curriculum.
