Some 142 School principals from across Elgeyo Marakwet County have been trained on Competence-Based Education (CBC) and its implementation in readiness for the transition of grade 10 learners in 2026.
The three-day training, which took place at Kaptagat Girls High School, was organized by the Centre for Mathematics, Science, and Technology Education in Africa (CEMASTEA).
CEMASTEA representative George Kiruja said the objective of the training was to equip school heads with the necessary knowledge to manage the transition effectively. "This workshop is crucial because of the shift to a competency-based curriculum.
We had three main objectives: first, to understand the CBC framework; second, to explore the design and implementation strategies required from teachers; and third, to address mentorship, career guidance, and the available pathways for students," Kiruja said.
