Joseph Francis rarely gets free time these days. His social life is dying. Reason? Francis has to rush back home after work, almost every day, to help his five-year-old daughter with homework. 

Francis says the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) has come with many challenges, including increased homework that involves parents. However, he does not mind it. Francis thinks CBC will better prepare learners for the future because of its nature of developing their competencies and enhancing their understanding of core values and important issues around them.
