Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha has appointed a nine-member committee to prepare for August’s curriculum reforms conference on the implementation of Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).
In what is now an indicator that the government will not go back to the 8-4-4 system, Prof Magoha wants the team chaired by Kenya Institute of Childhood Development chairperson Sara Ruto to document gains in CBC for pre-primary one and two and Grade One, Two and Three. The committee which also comprises John Kimotho, Reuben Thamburi, Ann Ngatia, Ruth Mugambi, Mary Gaturu, Silvester Mulambe, David Njengere and Samuel Siringi is supposed to document challenges experienced so far and make proposals on strategies to strengthen the 2-6-3-3-3 system.
