• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, I support this Petition and wish to bring to light a number of issues. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO); the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) framework of action that was adopted on 3rd November 2015, is very clear about support for teachers through continuous capacity building,; proper recruitment and proper payment, but what TSC is doing is not continuous capacity building. This is a business flagship programme that is meant to regulate and renew the licences of teachers. It is not at all supporting the SDG framework, if anything, it is going against ... view

• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On behalf of parents and education stakeholders, who are signatory to this Petition, I draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, formal education in Kenya was initially comprised of seven years in primary school, four years in secondary school, two years in high school and three years of university education between 1964 and 1985, before being replaced by the 8-4-4 System of Education in a bid to address concerns that the basic education previously provided lacked the necessary content to promote widespread sustainable self-employment; THAT, the Kenyan primary school curriculum was implemented in ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: THAT, in a major departure from the 8-4-4 System of Education, the competence based curriculum system that was launched in 2017 comprises of two years of pre-primary education, six years of primary education, three years of junior secondary education, three years of senior secondary education and three years of university education; view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: THAT, the objective of the CBC, in its theoretical framework, is to assure competence of learners in communication and collaboration, critical thinking and problem solving, imagination and creativity, citizenship, learning to learn, self-efficacy and digital literacy at the end of each learning cycle; The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: THAT, the CBC places emphasis on competence development rather than on the acquisition of content knowledge. This, effectively, means that the teaching and learning process has to change its orientation and in the teaching pedagogy of teachers from rote memorisation of content to acquisition of skills and competencies useful for solving real life problems; THAT, teaching methods, including role play, problem solving, projects, case studies, study visits and other learner-centred strategies, in which the teacher is expected to switch from one role of an expert to that of a facilitator who guides the learning process, and learners expected to take ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: THAT, the matters raised in this Petition are not pending in any court of law in the Republic of Kenya. Therefore, we humbly petition and pray that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Education and Research: (i) considers scaling down changes in the education system from the extensive reforms being undertaken down to review, to ensure sustainability and smooth implementation of the Kenyan school curriculum; (ii) intervenes with a view to scrapping the implementation of the CBC and, further, subjecting it to forensic audit and replacing it with the previous well versed and tested 8-4-4 Education Curriculum that ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, matters before court of law may not necessarily be connected with the items that I have raised, and I have said as such. The same can be proved in the process of addressing this Petition. Indeed, there is an application in court related to CBC but it does not necessarily contain the prayers that are specified in this Petition. So, I believe very strongly that what I have placed before the House is not contained in the prayers that have been placed by other Kenyans in a court of law. So, the issues raised here can be competently ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Indeed, the court concerns are true. This Petition was taken through the institutions of Parliament including the Legal Department and the rest. I am sure they would have discerned and separated the different pleadings. A matter may be in court... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I will ensure I get the pleadings in court and place them before you. view
