In spite of the policy providing for the proposed new curriculum and structure of education, the Sessional Paper was not precise on expected outcomes of the changes in the curriculum, its approximate implementation cost as well as its matrix timelines. There have been issues, which I want to make clear to the Members and the country. There is no exam for Grade Three. It is an assessment to look at issues that are within the curriculum, so that the implementers can improve on it. As we move on, there are certain issues that we ... view
