    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, to change a curriculum, we must ask ourselves how the current curriculum is doing and what it is we want to change. When it comes to this curriculum that is called Competence Based Curriculum (CBC), we are changing the teaching methodology. This is something that the Kenya National Academy of Sciences (KNAS) talked about in the 1990s. We need to change the way of teaching but not the structure and the content. Therefore, we need to look at that. The biggest problem that we have now with the discussions that are going on is that we are creating a doubt about our curriculum, not just for us, but also for the external world. Our products do not have to be Kenyan. We know very well that the Kenyan education system has been embraced internationally. So, whatever we do, we must ensure that the curriculum that comes out will be acceptable to everybody within and outside Kenya. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is also the transition of students from primary school. We have enjoyed a good relationship in the region. The East African Community (EAC) has embraced this curriculum although we have the 8.4.4 system and they have a different programme because of the quality of the Kenyan product. So, we cannot afford to show doubt as far as the curriculum is concerned. However, we must satisfy ourselves that this curriculum is useful and it will produce. I give an assurance that as a Committee, we are there and we will---."
