The implementation of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) is a case of putting the cart before the horse, former chairman of the Commission for Higher Education Ezra Maritim says.
In an interview with The Standard, Prof Maritim said there were problems facing CBC implementation but added that curriculum change was inevitable.
Maritim said CBC involves an overhaul of the existing curriculum structure and requires a commission, not the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development, officials to carry out a needs assessment and produce a report. He said the original report on the need for reforms in the education sector was not subjected to public participation, hence a false-start.
