Grade 9 learners across Kenya are currently undertaking a landmark academic exercise-selecting subjects that will shape their future careers under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).
The ongoing subject selection process, which began on June 9, 2025, will continue until June 30 through an online portal launched by the Ministry of Education.
It represents a major shift from the traditional exam-focused system to a model anchored in learners' interests, talents, and long-term career aspirations.
According to the Ministry of Education, over 1.2 million Grade 9 learners are expected to take part in the exercise.
