With the extension of Kenya Kwanza government to power, the fate of the newly implemented CBC falls squarely on public views and public participation.

According to the Kenya Kwanza coalition's education charter, the curriculum would be reviewed after public participation. The charter was signed by president-elect William Ruto.

The Ruto administration aspires to implement equitable education whereby all students can fulfill their highest potential despite their economic background.

The Kenya Kwanza team argues that the system locks out the poor citizens of well-equipped and better-resourced national schools.

William Ruto while launching the education charter said the assessment was to ensure the education system meets the requirements of the market

“To facilitate the seamless academic progression of learners the Kenya Kwqnza administration commits to review the current exam-based system of academic progression, which has excluded millions of learners based on basic education level exit exams by implementing alternative entry criteria” excerpt from the charter

Parents and teachers have raised concerns over the inadequacy of resources to deliver the Competency-Based Curriculum.

Teachers of the new curriculum have previously cited a lack of involvement by the government when the new system was rolled out.

Parents on the other hand have decried the high cost and labor intensiveness that CBC calls for. This is because the CBC system is more practical than theoretical.

In his inaugural speech yesterday the president stated that he would be forming an Education Reform Task Force to review and assess the feasibility of the Competency-Based Curriculum.

The task force would be mandated to collect views from all key players in line with the constitutional requirements of public participation.

This comes against the backdrop of two groups transitioning to secondary schools. The sixth-grade students and the last batch of standard eight pupils.

Outgoing Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha has asked the government not to abolish the CBC system as it had already been rolled out.

He confirmed that 10,000 CBC classrooms are complete in readiness of the grade six students to junior secondary schools.

In his last press briefing at the State House, President Kenyatta noted that the 100% transition policy and implementation of the CBC were among his biggest milestones.
