Let us start implementing task force's report on CBC

On Tuesday, President Uhuru Kenyatta launched a report on the 2-6-3-3-3 system of education. The report, compiled by the Task Force on Implementation of Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) set up in 2019, marked the culmination of a long process that has been characterised by controversy and confusion.

It has not been an easy journey, and along the way, the government at times seemed ill-prepared to undertake the task. In 2018, for example, the then Education Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed admitted to poor preparation on the roll-out of CBC before a Senate committee, and called for its postponement.
