    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. There are two things that a country needs for it to be recognised internationally. One, is the credibility of its passport. Second, is the credibility of its education system. If those two sectors are not okay, everything else is ruined. The CBC curriculum was conceptualised to cure some societal problems. It was supposed to enable students to practise what they are taught in class and to function in society. It had reached a stage where most graduates of the previous system of education were unable to implement what they were taught. It was important to re-model the system to mirror what they were taught. Any change comes with challenges. Those are the challenges we are experiencing in the implementation of the CBC. The most complex problem with the system is that there is a disconnect between the implementers, the policy makers and the consumers. There is a disconnect between those who sit at the Ministry and those in the rural areas. There is no communication. Is it too difficult for the Ministry of Education to take this CBC to the grassroots and communicate in a language that the people will understand? If it is Kikuyu, let them even go to the level of translating and explaining to the common mwananchi what the CBC is. They should explain it to the parents and students. They should communicate in all the languages. We have people who can disseminate this information. Let us cascade it down so that we can read from the same page."
