Various education stakeholders on Thursday flocked Makueni Boys High to give their views to the Education Reforms Task Force.
The Dr Halima Saado-led team sat calmly as the residents took to the podium share their views on the Competence Based Curriculum implementation reforms.
Many sounded positive on the ongoing education, saying that CBC is best suited for learning and that the government, but needs make it more friendly for learners, teachers and parents.
Makueni Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr said that the new curriculum did not start well, making it impossible for parents and leaders to understand its purpose and that it needed to be restructured.
"You can't start a journey heading the wrong direction and end up in the right direction," the governor said.
He said that since the government has devolved education, funds should be allocated to help the education sector.
"I understand devolving any unit means resource allocation which is yet to be done for ECDE and TVET institutions for smooth running of the unit,"
"Education is the most disorganised unit," the county chief said.
However, he said that after the harmonisation of ideas from all over the country then a change should be seen in the implementation of Education at all levels.
Former Makueni governor Kivutha Kibwana said that the constitution is clear on educational rules and should be followed to the letter.
John Kimeu, a resident who spoke on behalf of the boda boda sector, said that having the junior secondary in the ongoing high school may lead to psychological torture for younger learners.
Yusuf Ibrahim from Makueni Boys said that putting the young pupils with their seniors in secondary would increase drug abuse in the institutions since the small ones will be forced to sneak them in.
