National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula on Sunday, June 11, signalled the beginning of an effort to review the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) following objections by citizens.
During a church service in Elgeyo Marakwet County, Wetangula proclaimed having requested President William Ruto’s administration to consider the public’s input into the implementation of the programme. The former Bungoma senator clarified that he does not support the complete abandonment of the curriculum, but that he only proposes a review of the programme.
“Today I have asked the government to consider reviewing the new CBC education system to ensure effective implementation. I asked the government to consider prioritising discussing issues raised by the public on CBC during the cabinet meetings,” the former senator stated.
The speaker highlighted the importance of reviewing the curriculum, noting that education is an ongoing process and the government should take into account the views of all stakeholders. He regretted that the system devised by the previous administration was not suitable for students. Wetangula’s utterance came after President Ruto established a Working Party on Education Reform task force by way of a Gazette Notice dated September 2022, tasked with assessing the CBC in the nation.
On April 2023, the President extended the term of the task force until 12th 2023. Ruto detailed that the task force will assess the learners’ performance, the quality assurance and CBC standards, as well as teaching assignments. He added that it would also evaluate the technology used for curriculum delivery, the effects of improved learning outcomes and school management.

I find it odd that all Kenya…
I find it odd that all Kenya’s key cabinet level personnel always reference Ruto in just about anything they say. Don’t they have autonomy in their respective dockets or is Ruto an African version of Vladimir Putin?
Forget the CSs, what about…
Forget the CSs, what about the MPs, who are not under the executive. Instead of doing their job in parliament, Monday thru Friday, they wait for the executive. And weekends, they wait for their party leaders.

Just go Back to 7-4-2; or 8-4-TOEFEL (Prio to Admission to University).
Nb: Many of the NOWadays UNIVERSITY Entrants in KENYA are Dunderheads who CHEATED in Exams. Bure kabisa.?
Ni lazima mambo ya siasa…
Ni lazima mambo ya siasa yaondolewe kabisa mahali pa ibada kama makanisani na misikiti yote AU, viongozi wa mahali pa ibada wanaokaribisha siasa waanze kulipa kodi ya serikali mara moja.
Ni lazima watu wote waliopigwa msasa na kuwa wafuasi wa dini hizi bandia za Kiyahudi/Kirumi (Roman) na pia Kiarabu, wajue ya kwamba, watu wote katika nchi ya Kenya si wafuasi wa dini hizi.
Ndiyo umuhimu wa kutenganisha kabisa mambo ya siasa na dini. Kwa nini Ndugu yetu Wetangula alisema mambo ya mtaala (curriculum) mahali pa ibada?
Sisi sote twajua ya kwamba Ndugu yetu Samoei ameshapigwa msasa na mambo ya dini za kigeni kiwango ambacho mpaka sasa hajui wala haelewi ya kwamba dini anayofuata sasa, ilikuwa sehemu mojawapo kubwa sana ya kueneza sera (policy) za UKOLONI mahali popote 1)Waingereza 2) WaFaransa 3) WaPortuguese 4) Wajerumani 5) Wataliani 6) WaBeljiji 7) Wadachi 8) WaDanish 9) WaArabu 10) WaSpania walipohamia na kuchukua nchi za watu bila kualikwa. Watu wote kumi (10) nilioandika hapa, walikuwa waongo, wabakaji, wauaji, majambazi, na pia matapeli. Walitumia dini kutudanganya ya kwamba, kuna mahali pengine pazuri kuliko hapa duniani ambapo unaweza kufika hapo baada ya kufa. Walisema hayo na huku wanayanyakua mashamba yetu. Ajabu ni kuwa, wengi waliohudhuria shule zao mpaka sasa hawajaona janja hizi za matapeli wa Yuropa na Waarabu waliyotufanyia. Na isitoshe, waliwachukua watu wa asili ya COHO (Continent of Human Origins = Bara la Asili watu)
na kuwauza nje ya COHO kama watumwa.
Watu wote waliotawaliwa na wageni, wanahitaji kutumia akili yao na kuanzisha somo jipya linaloitwa “KUFIKIRI KWA KINA” (Critical Thinking Skills) ili waweze kujikomboa kutokana na hali ya kupoteza imani zao za kiasili na kufuata “Imani za Kikoloni.”
Elimu yoyote isiyofundisha masomo ya KUFIKIRI KWA KINA (CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS) inatilia mkazo elimu mbaya tuliyopata wakati tulipotawaliwa na wageni.

CBC structure is a scam. It was lifted from USA without restructuring to fit Kenya situation. Content ok but building new classroom in junior high and leaving empty classroom in primary doesn’t make sense
