President Ruto told to scrap CBC and bring
back the original 8.4.4
The government of
President Dr. William Ruto will do a lot of Justice to the education system in
the country by doing away with the Competency Based Curriculum, a lobby group
has said
Suba Development Forum
Coordinator Bernard Okebe says the CBC is a big burden to parents with no
tangible value to the learners hence calls for its immediate scrapping.
“Instead, what the
government needs to do is to revert to the original 8.4.4 system whose
curriculum had subjects like Art, craft and design, Music, Home-science Business
Education and Agriculture,” Okebe says
Okebe says the CBC is
still not yet understood by stakeholders including key ones like teachers and
this impairs the implementation of the new curriculum and thus causes confusion
in the country's education system.
Speaking in Magunga of
Gwassi in Suba South, Okebe said the intention to name a taskforce by President
Ruto to collect views on the CBC is a welcomed move as it will give Kenyans an
opportunity to tell the government that the previous government ignored public
participation on the process.
Okebe asked the
government to ensure that task force reached all corners of the country if the
issue is to be fixed for the interest of the Kenyan pupils when it is formed.
Okebe’s sentiments
comes barely a few days after Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua said in Kisumu
that the Government intend to carry out education reforms in the country including
re-looking into the Competency Based Curriculum with an aim of not abolishing
it.
The DP said very soon,
a taskforce will be formed to collect the views of Kenyans on the issue of
education reforms across the country.
President Ruto during
his inauguration speech said his Government will form a task force to re-look
into the issue of Competency Based Curriculum in the country.
