 Kenya develops a New Education Reform that will facilitate competency of education programs (checkout)

The introduction of a competency-based curriculum began in the year 2017 in Kenya. There was a need to shift from the result-based curriculum, which would not implement the talents and skills of the pupils. The main aim was to make the learners develop new communication models, collaborate among themselves, and develop critical thinking. 

The reforms were mainly based on ECDE and primary education. There was a need to introduce junior secondary, which never existed before. This is the next level of education where the education news hub is going to be focused more and bring out the benefits of the education reform introduction. 

The focus of the Ministry of Education is to strengthen the education system that will uphold the skills and talents of learners to fit the existing opportunities. 

Kenya Education and Management Institute is partnering with the ministry of education to bring collaboration on how the competency-based curriculum will be implemented. Learning is a continuous process where learners can gain skills continuously until they are fit for society. 

The blended education system (CBC) reform will show the capacity of learners towards achieving their future dreams. It is a long-term vision. All the education stakeholders beginning from those of the Ministry of Education, Kenya Education and Management Institute, Non-Governmental Organizations, and others have the goal of providing Kenyan children with a competency that will enable them to succeed in life.

In the 21st century, education is a good that should be taken with utmost care. Since the education systems keep on changing, the higher institutions of learning reforms should be done by the education sector. Based on the science technology and innovation of Africa, a transition should be made to ensure that Kenya is a knowledge-based country full of innovators and a creative population. 

The TVET reform is to address the unemployment agenda and provision of more labor to the industries. The youth should be equipped with knowledge and skills that will facilitate critical thinking in their daily decisions to curb employment problems in the country. 

After secondary education, now students become adult members of society and can be able to perform countless tasks. This reform is interactively intended to transform the nation and improve the status quo towards other education reforms presently.

To carry Africa ahead, the youth should be focused to be able to lead the African revolution in terms of education and learning.
