CBC vs 8-4-4: Brief facts about the two education systems

As the 8-4-4 system is being phased out gradually, the new Competency-Based Curriculum is also being implemented in a similar manner.

The CBC system, still new and unfamiliar to many, has attracted mixed reactions among stakeholders.

This has even seen a section of the political class, especially the Kenya Kwanza Alliance led by Deputy President William Ruto, promising to scrap it if elected on the August 9, elections.

However, education experts have warned that the move could jeopardize learning activities in the country even as they maintain that the system should be allowed to continue.
