For the next 21 days, schools and parents will be tasked with helping Grade 9 students with selecting their career pathways ahead of their transition to Grade 10, set to start next year.
Under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), the roughly 1.2 million students will be the first to enter Senior School and choose between three career pathways: STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), arts and sports, and social sciences.
Math, English, Kiswahili, and community service are still required, though.
The Ministry of Education has published subject combinations that are arranged according to five main pathways: STEM (Applied Sciences), STEM (Pure Sciences), Arts & Sports, and STEM (Technical Studies).
