Teachers undergo training as shift from CBC to CBE begins

Training is underway to equip teachers with the new skills needed to transition from the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) to Co-curriculum-Based Education (CBE).

Head of Directorate Field Coordination and Curriculum Services Nelson Sifuna reiterated the government’s commitment to collaborate with the private sector to improve and harness education levels in the country through CBE.

He spoke at the Pioneer Group of Schools prize-giving day in Maragua, Murang’a County, where he represented Education Principal Secretary Julius Bitok.

He said efforts to make the transition smooth were in full swing with a school heads conference in Mombasa that started yesterday.

“CBE will allow our children to develop their talents, as demonstrated by the Pioneer Group of Schools and other private institutions that have been recognised for their contribution and dedication in making CBE a reality,” he said.
