The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) has denied claims that teachers are struggling with the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).
Mildred Kataka, a Senior Principal Curriculum Development Officer, spoke on a vernacular radio station.
She assured listeners that teachers have received thorough training to implement CBC effectively.
“Our educators are well-equipped for this task,” she said.
Kataka encouraged students and parents to embrace the new system.
She noted that CBC is more practical and skills-focused than the old 8-4-4 system.
“CBC emphasizes hands-on learning and prepares students for real-world challenges,” she added.
Her comments addressed concerns about teacher readiness and resources.
Still, KICD insists that the transition is going smoothly and is essential for a more skill-driven education in Kenya.
