    "content": "The education system in any country is very dynamic. It needs to address the current happenings. Why the 8-4-4 system of education which was introduced in Grade 7 and went to class eight immediately succeeded was because the then government of President Daniel arap Moi did a lot of publicity. I want to agree with Hon. Members that the problem we have with CBC is that no one knows it. If you go to the villages, ask mothers and parents of 70 or 80 years, they will tell you about the days the chiefs talked about karakana . They will tell you why the 8-4-4 system was introduced. I remember very well they understood it. The cattle dip attendants, the chiefs and everybody in the marketplaces would tell you what the 8-4-4 system was. The preparatory levels were very low compared to what we have today. We have invested huge resources in the CBC, but our biggest problem is the implementers. I want to report to this House as the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research that the Committee has taken a lot of time on this matter. The Members who are here have explained it very well, that the Ministry of Education started CBC in pre- school ― in PP1 and PP2 ― 10 years down the line, yet they did not do publicity and talk to the parents. This is a very good education system. It is competence based. We are differently endowed. Based on the competencies of the child, for example, if you are science-based or likes sports or music, these are things that we are encouraging parents and everyone else to go The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
