    "content": "Ever since then, the first cohort of course is the one in Junior Secondary Schools now. The efficacy of the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) indeed has been subjected to extensive stakeholder consultation and public participation by the Presidential Working Party. If you look at the report on the Working Party, 51.2 per cent of the stakeholders engaged said we retain the CBC structure with a review which of course we have partly done, while 9.6 per cent proposed its retention, 21 per cent argued that it should be discontinued and 12 per cent submitted that we should reverse the 8-4-4 System. However, many of those interviewed acknowledged that CBC indeed gives learners more confidence, learners become more articulate and have demonstrated emerging competencies at an earlier age compared to 8-4-4 learners. I am sure that Members who have these children in 8-4-4 and CBC can make a comparison. I engage them as the Cabinet Secretary for Education and comparatively, I can see their differences. CBC comparatively is much better."
