A section of teachers drawn from different parts of the country have converged to reject the Ministry of Education's proposal to make Mathematics an optional subject for senior Junior Secondary School students.
The teachers who had converged in Kajiado County during a mathematical contest strongly condemned the move, urging the Ministry to revert and make mathematics a compulsory subject.
In a bold move to reconstitute the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) for transition to Grade 10, one of the most radical changes the Ministry of Education introduced was the removal of Mathematics as a compulsory subject for students.
This was contrary to the 8-4-4 system, where mathematics was compulsory.
