Inclusion of anti-doping lessons in new school curriculum good move

Kenya has adopted two curriculum changes since independence. The first was in 1985 when it changed from the 7-4-2-3 system to 8-4-4. The first model comprised of 7 years of primary education, 4 years of lower secondary, 2 years of upper secondary (form 5-6) and 3 years for a university course. The second is the one recently introduced by Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD), 2-6-3-3-3.

The new arrangement has basic education organised in three levels: Early Years, Middle School Education, and Senior School. It emphasises formative years of learning where learners will spend 2 years in lower primary, 6 years in upper primary, 3 years in junior secondary (grade 7,8,9) 3 years in senior secondary (grade 10,11,12) and 3 years in university.
