Details emerging is that the newly Education Cabinet Secretary Prof George Magoha is blindly pushing for a New Curriculum which he does not understand.
Due to this CS Magoha has called for the formation of the taskforce to bring him up to speed on the number of years students are going to spend in Primary and Secondary School.
Is this not wasting tax payers money?
This comes after training on the new competency-based curriculum, following the rollout of the 2-6-3-3-3 system to replace the 8-4-4 system.
The first two years are for lower primary education, six for upper primary, three for lower secondary, another three for upper secondary and three more for tertiary education.
However, Prof Magoha noted on Wednesday that he will not allow learners to spend more years in primary school.
“We are still engaging [parties] on where to place Grade 7, 8 and 9,” he said.
Prof Magoha said any decision that will be made will be in the interest of learners.
He spoke at the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) in Nairobi, where he launched the National Curriculum Policy.
