    "content": "are cowards or we fear the unknown. I have heard most Members of Parliament speak here. I know that the train has already left the station. We are already in the process of implementing the CBC. I urge Members not to fear the unknown. As a CBC parent, I know that the knowledge amongst the younger generation has increased. The children of today are more intelligent than those in the past. The Bible justifies that in future, knowledge will increase. Children born today are sharper than those born in the earlier days. We cannot keep suppressing our children from exploring more in terms of what we have in the CBC. For example, our children right now understand more in terms of new technology. We cannot stick to the same 8-4-4 System of Education at the expense of denying our children a chance to explore more. The other issue is that we have teachers in primary schools who are knowledgeable and very intelligent. It is not a different system. It is just similar. All that is required is training and adjustment of the curriculum. I wish the Government could employ new technology to train teachers. We have teachers who are already university graduates. We also have teachers with master’s degrees in primary schools. We can just absorb those teachers in the system, give them some training for them to effectively carry on with the CBC. Finally, we can employ new technology like online learning for teachers to cut down on costs and also save on time. I support the rollout of the CBC in the Kenyan education system. The Government should allocate more resources so that the system can be effective. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
