Magoha Pleads With Next Government to Allow Him Finish CBC Implementation
On July 31, Education Cabinet Secretary Prof George Magoha pleaded with the next government to give him more time to finish building Competency-Based Curriculum classrooms.
The CS asked the new government to consider giving him more time to complete the project during the commissioning of CBC classrooms at Namgoi Secondary School in Nandi county.
“We intend to complete most classrooms by election time, should there be a small balance, since am not a politician, and you can judge me on that, only God knows who will be the president, I don’t know and whoever comes in will be my commander in chief.
I hope that before that person comes in he should allow me to finish the remaining classrooms,”
He also claimed that if he is allowed to ensure that the classrooms are completed until the new government is formed, he will be guided.
“If I am allowed to continue, I will ensure that the classrooms are completed; if I am directed to go and rest, I will obey the command and go to rest because I work at someone’s command.”
More than 1.2 million students are currently in Grade 6 and will begin junior secondary school next year, and the government is working against the clock to ensure a smooth transition.
The CS assured the teachers that the government is committed to having the classes ready by the end of the year, as the pioneer junior secondary school begins in January 2023.
On the other hand, Kenya Kwanza flagbearer William Ruto has expressed concerns about the CBC, stating that the curriculum needs to be revised to address concerns from parents, teachers, and educational stakeholders.
