Stop using CBC as a Campaign Tool, Magoha Tells Politicians
Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha has cautioned politicians vying for various elective seats from placing the new school curriculum at the centre of their campaigns.
Magoha has maintained that the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) is not a joke and politicians should desist from creating funny and discouraging statements.
He was speaking during a routine tour to check on how ready private schools are to implement CBC junior secondary school. He confirmed during the tour that the CBC curriculum was there to stay, and those opposing it should rather give reliable options for implementation.
The government is planning to roll out phase two of school infrastructure upgrade, while ensuring that completed classrooms are registered, he said.

“Examinations for Grade 6 are ready and the transition to junior secondary is well on course,” said Magoha.
According to Magoha, those politicising CBC to stop since it is distracting the learners.
He added; “There are school-going children in every part of this country. Just do your politics peacefully without involving and scaring the children.”
During inspections at Golden Elite Schools, Magoha commended public schools which he said were “98 per cent” ready for junior secondary transition.
The CS set a target of August to deliver 10,000 classrooms that the president had promised would be ready by the time he leaves office.
