CS Magoha picks team to spearhead CBC talks

Work plans

Overall, Magoha wants the task force to undertake broad stakeholder engagement, review literature and identify international best practices with a view to preparing a comprehensive advisor report on implementation issues.

Broadly, the CS says the team will advice on policy and legal issues necessary for effective implementation of curriculum reforms, including framework on the working relationship between the national and county governments on implementation of the pre-primary curriculum.

Magoha said part of the team’s specific mandate is to advise on transition from basic to tertiary education and training in 2029, including infrastructural and human resource requirements.

Knut has rejected the CBC, saying it is not anchored in law. The union also cited lack of adequate infrastructure in schools to mount the new syllabus, ill-trained teachers and weak budgetary allocation as some of the shortcomings of the CBC.

The year-long engagement is seen as a lifeline to the implementation process with a window opened for more stakeholders’ consultation on the national roll out.

Magoha wants the task force to advise on the overall implementation of the CBC, including identification of schools to host the proposed Pathways and Tracks in senior secondary school. This decision must take into consideration equity and cost effectiveness.
