    "content": "The P1 Teachers are being asked to go for refresher courses in teachers’ colleges to teach CBC. That is good, but there is also need to take secondary school teachers, who are supposed to handle junior secondary schools, for refresher courses to handle the CBC. Remember the teachers currently handling the students were only trained in two subjects as per the curriculum. Those with diplomas and degrees were only trained in two subjects and yet we have a curriculum that has about 14 subjects. I agree there should be proper guidelines and regulations on the development of the curriculum, so that Kenyan children do not operate on a trial and error learning process. These are our children. We want them to be competent as envisaged by this new curriculum. The CBC is meant to ensure that after a student graduates from junior secondary school, he or she chooses what we call pathways. There are those who will go for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) disciplines, and those who will pursue careers in arts and sports. Therefore, students who graduate from Grade Nine must be knowledgeable enough to choose which path they will take in pursuit of their education. The earlier the better. That is why I support this Motion because by the time students are exiting Grade Nine, they should be knowledgeable enough to pursue various careers and education."
