Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) Chief Executive Charles Ong'ondo told secondary school principals that the new curriculum is about nurturing every learner's individual potential, not ranking students against one another, because the curriculum is designed purely to help explore their potential without being compared to others.
