The recent retooling of Junior Secondary School (JSS) teachers in West Pokot County has boosted the implementation of CBE in the county’s schools.
The workshop, which took place at Nasokol Girls’ High School during the April holiday, equipped the teachers with a wide range of skills in key areas covered by tutors.
Teachers in attendance were taken through the following important areas: Revised Retooling guidelines, Reporting Assessments Outcome, Competency-Based Assessment tools, Authentic Assessment, Administration of School-Based Assessment, Professional Documents, and Assessment of Core Competencies.
Teachers were required to understand the core competencies and their implementation for learners.

The CSOs from all the zones greatly assisted in facilitating the CBE programme.
The West Pokot Sub County Director of TSC, Wepoghe Kamas, appreciated the large number of teachers who turned up and asked them to implement the CBE programme at their schools for the benefit of the learners.
Mathew Kerker, one of the teachers who attended, confessed that teachers gained a lot.
