Friends Kaimosi Girls’ Grade 10 parents tipped on CBE pathways, as school holds orientation

The Friends Kaimosi Girls’ Senior School parents have been tipped on the Competency Based Education (CBE) pathways, a move aimed at aimed at familiarizing them with the new education framework.

The programme led by Paul Wanyonyi, a renowned motivational speaker and facilitator of the “Masterclass” program, show parents guided through the pathways and enlightened on how to guide and advise their children to make good choices while settling for any subjects.

Wanyonyi however, challenged parents not to force their daughters into pathways they do not prefer. “Let the girls choose what they love and what aligns with their strengths,” he urged.

He addressed common misconceptions surrounding CBE, noting that many circulating rumors about the new curriculum lack factual basis.

According to Wanyonyi, CBE is learner-centered and places students where they best fit, enabling them to realize their full potential.

He encouraged parents to fully support school programs and take time to understand the curriculum framework — particularly its financial implications.

He was talking during the Grade 10 orientation event attended by teachers, parents, students, and other key stakeholders in education.

The event aimed at familiarizing parents with the school programs and the new education framework while strengthening collaboration between the school and families.

The school Chief Principal Rose Shavisa described the orientation as a vital process that lays a strong foundation for collaboration, understanding, and academic success.

Shavisa emphasized the importance of partnership between the school, students, and parents in nurturing discipline, academic excellence, and personal growth.

With the school’s rich history of impressive performance in academics and co-curricular activities, she noted that strengthened collaboration is key to sustaining and improving results.

Parents were also guided on how to handle emerging issues constructively and encouraged to avoid rushing to social media platforms. “Be positive ambassadors of the school.”

Vincent Namai, the Parents Association (PA) Chairperson told parents that quality education is expensive, but it is worth investing in.

Namai encouraged parents to personally attend academic programs rather than sending youthful relatives in their place.

He also stressed the importance of timely fee payment and called on parents to support the ongoing Grade 10 tuition block project currently under construction.
