The ongoing national discussion about the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) and proposals to make mathematics optional at the Senior Secondary School (SSS) has elicited diverse opinions from various education stakeholders and policy makers.
Some stakeholders have argued that mathematics should be a major subject in the senior secondary schools and not optional as the Ministry of Education proposes.
Kiharu Member of Parliament, Ndindi Nyoro has said mathematics is applied in many sectors of life and should be taught as a major subject up to the level of senior secondary schools.
Speaking during a prize giving ceremony at Kahuhia Girls high school in Kahuro Sub County, Ndindi emphasized the importance of mathematics as a core subject among the learners urging its continued inclusion in the curriculum.
