    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to weigh in on this matter. I am a Member of the Committee on Education, Information and Communication Technology. Prof. Magoha was my student at the medical school and I know that there is a CBC which has been rolled out. First, one of the major pitfalls in the rolling out of CBC is that it must be based on a policy. However, as far as I know, it is now that they are rolling out that policy. It is through the policy that one is able to cut out deliberate measures that are required to actualize the curriculum. That is one of the pitfalls where the former CS, Amb. Amina had agreed with the Committee that it was rushed. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the second element that we need to be aware of is that when we roll out the CBC, it must be based on the collective views and inputs by all stakeholders. What I am seeing today is that the teachers are speaking their language, Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is speaking its language and the Ministry is speaking its language. You wonder when they ever met to put these facts together so that they can move together. Third, people must be very well versed with the curriculum. The teachers, who are supposed to be the ones delivering the curriculum, are in limbo. They do not know the A, B, C, D of it. I like the admission of the Senate Majority Leader that the bulk of that exercise has been put to the parents. Now, you can imagine the types of parents we have in various schools and what their competencies are, to actualize this curriculum. I wish I had more minutes. I would have shed more light on this topic. One, the teachers have not been prepared for this exercise. Two, the materials, for example, books to be used for this exercise have not been adequately rolled out. The first attempt to roll out some, was full of mistakes. Once children who are growing up capture a mistake in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
