Jwan noted that in April, a total of 91,320 teachers from private and public schools were trained. And in August, the number of teachers some 68,490 are targeted for training.
Opposing the new curriculum, Knut has often maintained that the roll out was conducted without a legitimate policy framework and necessary statutory instruments born out of public participation.
The union has also insisted that the new curriculum was rolled out against the backdrop of an uncoordinated and poorly done pilot programme.
Prof Magoha has however declared that the CBC roll out shall proceed and committed to seal the gaps as implementation gets underway.
KICD also dismissed claims that CBC is foreign driven.“Curriculum requires international input so that we don’t speak to ourselves all the time. This provides global perspective which is a plus,” said Jwan.
Magoha has appointed a nine-member committee to prepare for a curriculum reforms conference the August that will focus on the implementation of the curriculum.
The team to be chaired by Kenya Institute of Childhood Development chairperson Sara Ruto also includes John Kimotho, Reuben Thamburi, Ann Ngatia, Ruth Mugambi, Mary Gaturu, Silvester Mulambe, David Njengere and Samuel Siringi.
Knut, on its part has threatened to rally teachers to revert to the old teaching methods under the 8-4-4 system.
