“There has been helpless arrangement between CBC definition, educator limit advancement, determination and supply of learning materials and appraisal, which has prompted helpless execution and inaccessibility of important CBC materials,” the request notes.
National Assembly Majority Leader Amos Kimunya went against the appeal.”These individuals who are testing this framework need to realize that their youngsters who have gone through five years of another schooling framework.
I don’t have the foggiest idea what the plan is, should it presently be turned around and the students return to Standard One in the 8-4-4 framework?” he inquired.
Nonetheless, Speaker Justine Muturi ended the request taking note of that there is as of now a forthcoming case on the CBC execution in court documented by Kenya Law Society President Nelson Havi seven days prior.
The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development has been directing partners’ commitment on the CBC carry out in the new past.
End this disgrace! Hakuna cha debate we as parents are suffering economically, social and psychologically.
We have to do things for our children to be asessed, srumble and grapple through the night to print, photocopy and God knows what!
Scrap this BS, it’s directionless and only an an unnecessary burden to ailing income
Cbc can only word in a developed country not in a third world country like Kenya.If it failled in South Africa how is going to succeed in kenya!!!.Scrap tihs thing our children will be useless in future if something is not done immedietly.They talk about developing competences in a child…..how can you develop a competences without a resource??As a teacher I can clearly tell you that teachers are using old ways to teach CBC.
Thats sooo true KENNEDY thank you …why dont we as parents stage a strike??😅😅😅my take though…
i wish it will end completely!!! we did 8-4-4 when we had 700mks and the way the teachers handled those subjects they never complicated it for students and parents. we used to do homescience, art n craft, music and so on, i believe this was CBC its only that the one which is being done today, they think that parents are digging money from their boreholes and assuming that every parent is capable of having a smart phone to take photos. The leaders we have today simply because their children may be don’t go to schools that offer kenyan education system they don’t care the hell we are going through!!!
CBC is the way to go, parents, don’t do your kids assignments, let them learn, how long will you hold to 8-4-4?Change is inevitable, there’s no one day we shall all be set and prepared for change, let’s keep learning
Maybe if you have a source of income don’t take it the same for all parents
What’s wrong with this Government. Chest thumping won’t help. Listen to stakeholders. PARENTS ARE SUFFERING
CBC has been tested in more developed countries and it has failed. Kenya is far much behind to embrace the CBC program. The program is facing more challenges than solutions and making parents to spent extra coins outside the school setting. The CBC program has insufficient resources. So as per me this program ought to be scrapped and the 8-4-4 system to remain.
Well said.
CBC IS here to stay…..,take it or leave it ! I wonder why parents feel uneasy when they are told to participate in their children’s learning. Whom are we relegating this God given.responsibility to?teachers? no way.Changamkeni!
The government should understand that not all parents can handle the questions sent to them daily. *With the help of your parent or guardian*… The materials required for the same are also high. Kenya should understand her economy.
I just wonder how this CBC is going to be implemented! So far, it is still so unclear how the learners are going to transition from grade 6 to junior high school; is it going to be done in the various primary schools or high schools? I haven’t seen the extra classes the government is claiming to have built! At the moment, the parents are facing so much pressure with homeworks that sometimes don’t even make sense. Every now and then we are forced to take photos and print and am often left wondering the kind of skills our kids are being taught. There is a lot of confusion with the implementation of CBC and am afraid our kids might be affected academically if the government keeps insisting on its implementation. A lot needs to be done because some of the learners are starting to feel they don t have to work hard in their studies and attain good grades; competition is very important but how are the learners going to compete without grading and ranking. You go to school then you are told ” usiwe na wasiwasi hata kama mtoto hajafanya vizuri kwa mtihani, he/ she might be good in other things’. It is true the kid might be good in othet areas, but which areas are these and where am I supposed to take my kid so that he/she can perfect in those so called other areas? The government has to admit that we are not ready for CBC; the system needs a lot of strategic planning and resources for it to be fully implemented and from the look of things, the government is not ready.
Cbc is the way to go… this kids are being taught the skills to do alot of things that can earn them cash even if they drop out at any one point… i really do think that parents are used to the 8-4-4 system where they take their children to school leave them and wait for result slips but now they are being engaged to help and they are not used to that so they are now complaining
CBC has been rushed regardless to tough times,economy and pandemic.If mere school laptops project failed,how is the system (CBC) going to sail through?Parents are overwhelmed and overburdened.Teachers too suffer the same heat.Learners who depend on us,will end up confused.The government is driving its citizens nuts in a bid to thump there chest for there unsolicited failing agenda.Please revert to the old ways for old is gold.The system will change swiftly when we cross the bridge but for now our country is struggling and in dire need of help.
