In a seemingly departure from the hardline stance the Kenya Kwanza coalition had taken on the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) during campaigns in the run-up to the August general elections, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua now claims that the government has no plans to scrap away the curriculum.

DP Gachagua revealed this when he was speaking in Kisumu on Friday  during the closing ceremony of National drama and music festival. He urged kenyans to give their views on how best to implement the curriculum to the taskforce which is being formed.

“When that team is unveiled and will be going around the country, please don’t just complain at home or in market centres…please turn up and present these people with your views on what you think should be done to improve CBC and the entire education system,”  DP Gachagua said.

He said this while accompanied by many leaders to the lakeside city. The DP also reiterated their government’s commitment to the nurturing of talents across the nation as he appreciated how performing arts are a conduit for offering employment opportunities and thus sources of income to the youths.

This comes after parents complained about how the curriculum is overburdening them with many requirements for their practical lessons. Kimilili MP Didimus Barasa voiced their concerns when he claimed that there are no chicken in his constituent’s homes because they have all been eaten by teachers who request them every now and then to be used by learners in their studies according to CBC.

“Very soon we will roll out a program on how to harness talent and the creativity of our people and slowly, gradually turn it into a source of income and our contribution to our GDP,” stated the Deputy President
