10000 CBC Classrooms To Be Ready By July.
Prof. George Magoha, Cabinet Secretary for Education, has promised that 10,000 CBC classrooms will be ready for use by July of this year.
Magoha, who spoke Monday at the commissioning of Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) classrooms and two laboratories at Kapsabet Boys High School, said the first phase will deliver 6,497 classes, with the remaining 3,503 classes to be completed in the second phase, which will begin in May.
“At the moment, 4,000 classrooms have so far been completed in the first phase which translates to 85 per cent, the remaining 15 per cent will be completed soonest,” explained Magoha.
The CS praised Nandi County for completing the CBC classrooms and topping in the Rift Valley region and urged other counties to follow suit and ensure they met the target.
Meanwhile, Magoha refuted allegations of exam malpractice and warned spreaders of false information about the exam to stop, claiming that the exercise is well-managed.
“We have a multi-agency team that is manning the examinations and earlier attempts at exposures have been contained,” he clarified.
Magoha also stated that phones would not be permitted in the examination centers except for the centre manager and security personnel to deal with emergencies.
“The said attempted earlier exposures have involved phones, going forward, subject teachers, invigilators and supervisors must leave their phones at home,” he stressed.
Other changes to ensure proper exam management included the extension of container opening times.

“Let examination centres be opened at 8.30am which was previously done at 8.00am unless under the discretion of County Commissioners and their deputies who have to transport exams to far flung areas and opt to open the containers much earlier,” Magoha pointed out.
Nandi County Commissioner Herman Shambi, County Director of Education Zachary Mutwiri, Kapsabet Boys High School Principal Kipchumba Maiyo, and other education officials accompanied the CS.
