The Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) is a new education system that aims to improve the quality of education in Kenya. However, the implementation of the CBC has faced several challenges, including inadequate training for teachers and lack of resources.
Despite these challenges, the Ministry of Education has expressed confidence in the success of the CBC. In an interview, the Cabinet Secretary for Education, Amina Mohamed, said that the ministry is committed to ensuring that the CBC is implemented successfully.
However, critics of the CBC argue that the ministry has not done enough to address the challenges facing the implementation of the curriculum. They argue that the ministry should have provided more support to teachers and schools to ensure that they are equipped to implement the CBC effectively.
The CBC is a major reform in the education sector, and its success will depend on the ability of the ministry to address the challenges facing its implementation. The ministry should learn from past mistakes and take a more proactive approach to ensuring the success of the CBC.
