Background and Context

Kenya's education system has undergone significant changes in recent years. The shift to the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) has brought new opportunities and challenges for learners, parents, and teachers alike. Understanding the system is the first step to navigating it successfully.

"The goal of CBC is not just to teach content: it is to develop competencies that learners will use throughout life.": Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD)

Key Points to Know

• CBC focuses on developing seven core competencies in every learner
• Assessment is competency-based (BE, AE, ME, EE): not just marks and grades
• Every learning area has strands, sub-strands, and specific learning outcomes
• Materials aligned to KICD curriculum designs are available at CBC Edu Kenya

What This Means for Learners

For learners in Kenya, this means a shift from rote memorisation to genuine understanding and application. Exams still happen, but they now include portfolio tasks, practical assessments, and project work alongside written tests.

What This Means for Teachers

Teachers need complete, KICD-aligned materials to deliver lessons effectively. This includes notes, schemes of work, lesson plans, assessment rubrics, and end-of-term exams : all structured around the specific strands and sub-strands in the curriculum design.
