The task force handling education reforms is expected to present its preliminary report on the Competency-Based Curriculum-CBC this coming Friday.
The CBC committee which was appointed by President William Ruto visited 37 counties across the country to conduct views and receive public submissions on the curriculum.
According to Kenya’s Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, the committee will present the finalized report to President Ruto on Friday and advise the Head of State on the new direction to follow.
“The working committee on the educational reforms is purely looking upon issues concerning CBC, TVET, and University education will be coming Friday giving the finalized option after the president receives the interim report on how to proceed with Competency-Based Curriculum and other reforms,” Gachagua said in a statement on Tuesday.
Speaking at Komarock Primary School in Nairobi where he monitored the ongoing Kenya Certificate of Primary Education-KCPE and Kenya Primary School Education Assessment-KPSEA examinations, Rigathi Gachagua said that the Kenya Kwanza regime will foster the well-being of Teachers through education reforms and better working conditions.
“The teaching profession is a symbol to our community nobody can compensate you adequately for what you do. It is a sacrifice and that is why we are calling for respect for our teachers and that is why we agreed that the delocalization program is done away with so that teachers can be able to work anywhere in the country,” Gachagua stated.
