On the eve of the CBC curriculum's implementation, a section of private education stakeholders are expressing concern over mixed signals from some presidential aspirants who have hinted at scrapping the curriculum if elected.
Speaking during the 30th anniversary celebration of Green Cottage School Academy in Kiamumbi, ACK Nairobi Archdiocese Bishop Joel Waweru emphasized that parents and institutions had invested heavily in the CBC program and any attempt to scrap it could spell doom for the sector.
Waweru also criticized politicians in the Kenya Kwanza alliance for politicizing the CBC, saying it was the only system that could nurture talents not realized in other children.
He further urged Kenyans to embrace peace and sobriety during the elections.
Green Cottage School Academy Director Judy Muraguri called on the government to consider funding private institutions to ensure the CBC curriculum is fully implemented in both private and public schools.
She argued that excluding the private sector was an act of bad leadership, as all pupils were from the same government.
The school has recorded exemplary performances in national examinations, with some students moving on to top national schools.
Former student Nelson Mandera, now a student at Alliance High, moved the audience with his story of how he became the best candidate at Green Cottage.
