Competency-Based-Curricula (CBC) works to exposure learners to relevant real-life requirements, preparing them adequately for current and future labour markets and life.
According to Thomas Kithure, a prominent figure in the Kiang’ondu Karingani zone, Tharaka Nithi County, the curricula work to instill cross-cutting ideas, processes, and practical skills in the learner’s curriculum from the early stages of education.
Speaking to parents and educators at Chuka PCEA Church during a graduation ceremony for the PP2 class, Kithure highlighted the myriad ways CBC is poised to revolutionize education for learners.
He underscored the curriculum emphasis on developing practical skills and competencies, preparing students not only for academic success but also for real-world challenges.
“CBC equips learners with critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills, setting a robust foundation for their future careers,” said Kithure.
Acknowledging the hurdles in digital literacy, Kithure was candid about the existing challenges but assured the audience that the government is committed to addressing these issues head-on.
He further emphasized the importance of digital literacy in today’s world, outlining the government’s plans to ensure equitable access to technology, thereby bridging available disparities.
Kithure’s words resonated deeply with the parents, leaving them more informed and optimistic about the future of their children’s education.
The event was not just a celebration of the young graduates but also a pivotal moment of learning and community building.
