Friday, October 25, 2024 - The National Assembly Education Committee has asked the Ministry of Education to ensure full implementation of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) policy to ensure that learners receive the full benefits of the education system.
The committee which voiced its
concerns on Thursday said that the rollout of the CBC continues to
disenfranchise learners in public schools, which are yet to receive sufficient
monetary and infrastructural support from the government.
"The resolution to ensure
that every single primary school in Kenya has a junior school has not been
implemented. It is a concern because it was passed by the National Assembly,
and everything passed by the NA must be implemented," said Mbeere North MP
Geoffrey Ruku.
MPs also expressed concerns about the long distances some students must travel to access junior secondary schools in areas where such institutions are unavailable.
In addition, they called on the
government to ensure that public school learners are equipped for science and
technology-based subjects.
"The laboratories required in most of our constituencies are not there.
"In my constituency, they are
absent, and neither are the teaching aids. It pains me that we are implementing
a curriculum without the necessary resources," added Ruku.
