The government pledge to enhance financial support in co-curricular activities as learners transition to the Competency-Based Education (CBE) curriculum in senior secondary school next year.
Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba hailed the Kenya Music Festival (KMF) as a powerful tool for nurturing creativity, fostering cultural unity, and driving the Competency-Based Education (CBE) agenda, while calling for greater equity and investment in the arts.
The CS highlighted the festival's alignment with CBE's focus on creativity, imagination, and communication, noting its role in building self-confidence, discipline, perseverance, teamwork, and collaboration among learners. "Music helps our learners nurture creativity and talents.
Competitions like this give them a platform for self-expression and prepare them for life in a competitive world," the CS added.
