To ensure a smooth transition for Grade 9 learners into Senior Schools next year, 109 Secondary School Principals from the Nairobi region have been trained on Competency-Based Education (CBE).
The three-day capacity-building workshop, held at Buruburu Girls Secondary School in Nairobi, was designed to strengthen their readiness for the critical shift in curriculum.
The training focused on equipping them with essential leadership strategies and practical knowledge to effectively implement the CBC framework in their respective schools.
Speaking during the closing ceremony, Regional Director of Quality Assurance and Standards-Nairobi (RDQAS), Nancy Afandi, emphasised the crucial role of school heads in implementing curriculum reforms. "Principals are not just administrators; they are change agents, and this training is meant to ensure they are fully prepared to lead the Grade 9 learners into Senior School under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC)," she stated. "At this crucial stage, school heads are key to the successful implementation of CBC," she added, urging them to nurture learners' potentials and help them to realize their dreams.
