    "content": "were in the 8-4-4 System of Education. The CBC is out to create entrepreneurs – people who can be employers as opposed to people seeking jobs. That will go a long way in curing unemployment in Kenya. The CBC is the way to go. However, it is facing challenges. Some schools were approved to be junior secondary schools while others were left out. The approval was based on distance, that is, the number of kilometres a student would cover to reach a school. If you refuse to approve all primary schools to offer the junior secondary school curriculum, it is going to disadvantage others because they are going to cover long distances. For example, my constituency has 133 primary schools, but less than 100 schools were picked to offer the junior secondary school curriculum. What happens to other schools? The system faces so many challenges, but that does not mean we are going to do away with it and go back to the 8-4-4 System of Education. What will we be telling ourselves? What will we be telling our students who have been in this system nine years down the line? We cannot run away from the problem. The challenges we are facing are challenges we can work on. Let us support the Ministry of Education by allocating it a budget to sustain this curriculum. The future is with CBC."
