The   Competency   Based   Curiculumn  (CBC)   needs  to  be  reviewed  so  as  Kenya can achieve   a robust   Education   sector   with   more  competent   and High  quality  professionals   in  the  near  future.

This is   according   to   the legislator  of Bumula   Constituency  in Bungoma   County, Hon.  Moses  Mwambu   Mabonga.

While addressing   the   press   in   Bungoma   town   after  meeting   teachers  drawn  from   Kimaeti   Sub-county, Mwambu  said  that  currently  as it is constituted,   the  CBC  programme  implementation   is  proving   to be   a big   challenge   to  parents   due to its  expensive  requirements   and especially when Kenyans   are  currently  struggling   financially.

The  MP  Noted   that  the  Education   Cabinet  Secretary   Prof   George.   Magoha   should  consider   doing  a  fresh   review  of  CBC  initiative    by  engaging   a national  dialogue, cum stakeholders   consultation   forums   so  as  to  make  necessary  changes  to the  programme  in  order  to  reduce  the cost  of educating  learners.

He  reiterated  his  commitment   in  investing  more  in  the  education   sector   through   the   National  Government   Constituencies   Development   Fund   (NG-CDF)  by  assisting  more  needy students to  get   bursaries  and  scholarships.
