[PHOTOS] Pupils go through practical session under CBC

As many parents try to catch up with the new Competency Based Curriculum, there are pupils who have embraced it.

Pupils at Annointed Academy on Thursday interacted in class session under CBC.

The students used tablets to improve their knowledge on technology while others used manila papers to draw and others learnt how to sew.

The CBC perspective to education provides learners with 21st-century skills, such as collaborative learning, critical thinking, communication skills, and problem-solving.

On Monday, the National Parents Association said it will defend the embattled Competency-Based Curriculum in court after a case was filed to challenge it.

Chairman Nicholas Maiyo said although the petitioner is a parent, the association does not support the demands to shelve implementation and revert back to the 8-4-4.

He said the demands of the petitioner would throw children into confusion and hinder their dreams.

Last week, a petition filed through advocate Nelson Havi argued that the action by the Education ministry to implement the new curriculum is unlawful and prejudicial to the future of the children of Kenya and ought to be halted.

The petitioner seeked interim orders stopping the CBC pending hearing and determination of the case.
