Thousands of students across the country may be exposed to misleading content in their quest for knowledge.
This follows concerns by the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) about the increasing circulation of unauthorised educational materials, particularly those targeting the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).
Some of these books are said to bear the label 'Approved by KICD' in an attempt to deceive parents, even though they do not meet the required standards.
According to KICD CEO Prof Charles Ong'ondo, unscrupulous individuals have exploited the implementation of the CBC to sell unapproved textbooks to unsuspecting parents and teachers. "We are witnessing a disturbing trend where unscrupulous individuals are taking advantage of the implementation of the curriculum reforms to misdirect parents and teachers for their selfish gains," said Prof.
