Transformative Impact on Society: The Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) revolutionizes education in Kenya by fostering essential skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity among learners.

These competencies are crucial in preparing students to meet the challenges of the 21st century.

CBC is not just about education, it’s about shaping a more cohesive and responsible society. It promotes values such as social responsibility, empathy, and respect for diversity, fostering a sense of unity and connection.

This shift from exam-oriented learning to a more holistic approach ensures that learners are not only academically proficient but also capable of contributing positively to their communities​​.

Strengthening the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD): The CBC has also significantly bolstered the role of the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD).

As the chief architect behind the CBC, KICD has demonstrated its capacity to innovate and lead in curriculum development.

The successful implementation of the CBC showcases KICD’s ability to adapt to global educational trends while addressing local needs.

This not only enhances the institute’s reputation but also positions it as a key player in shaping future educational policies, both within Kenya and potentially across the region​​.

In essence, the CBC is a driving force for positive societal change, while also elevating KICD’s standing as a leader in educational development.
