Teachers have been called upon to help the learners understand the Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) dynamics and offer psychological support throughout the transition.
Speaking at the prize-giving and school harambee event at Matiliku Boys, guest speaker Charles Mutinda, Machakos’s Chief Officer in the Governor’s Office, emphasized the need for schools to prepare for the CBC’s upcoming dynamics.
“Grade 10 is coming. Be ready to accommodate them and show them the way,” Mutinda said.

He called upon students to work very hard, remembering that an education certificate is the only personal certificate one can own; the other certificates are communal.
“I remind students that being here is not a right of passage but defining their lives,” Mutinda said.
He called upon parents to encourage their children by reminding them to defend what they had when they joined the school, even if they didn’t score anything different from that.
Mutinda urged parents to be role models to their children and stop leading by bad examples.
“Strangely, nowadays, you find some parents walking almost naked in front of their children or in public; what example are you giving them?” he wondered. ” If you want to get an engineer in your children, behave like one.”
