As the implementation of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) progresses, the concept of parental engagement has come to the fore, amidst complaints that they are doing the bulk of the assignments.

According to parents, children are given assignments, in which they have no option but to fully participate, even as questions emerge on what happens to those who cannot read or write.
