On July 9, 2019, Education Cabinet Secretary Prof George Magoha visited Nanyuki Primary School and DEB Nanyuki in Laikipia County to assess the implementation of the newly launched Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC). He hailed the progress in the region.
However, his visit was overshadowed by reports of alleged bullying at Nairobi School. Prof Magoha directed the management of Nairobi School and Sawagongo High School to table a report in his office by the following week, indicating who was responsible for the incidents and the actions taken.
Speaking during the visit, Magoha issued a stern warning against prefects or other school staff who have a habit of beating students in school, saying it must stop immediately.
Prof. Magoha was reacting to reports that the ministry of education is investigating claims that a student in form two in Nairobi school was bullied by prefects and sustained a brain injury.
He also announced that there will be a major stakeholders' conference on August 16th on CBC at KICC, Nairobi, with four pre-conferences starting from July 24 to 29.
