Kenya requires competent manpower for its agro-based economy. Agriculture for upper primary level will build on

competencies introduced in Early Years Education under Environmental Activities contributing to human capacity

development. The learning experiences will involve active learner participation conducted through practical and

experiential learning activities to develop applicable competencies for sustainable agriculture. The curriculum will

focus on developing skills for production of indigenous and exotic crops and domestic animals through innovative

agricultural practices and use of limited resources to enhance food security. The acquired knowledge, skills and attitudes

will form a foundation for development of agricultural competencies for lower secondary and beyond.

1. Participate actively in agricultural activities for environmental conservation.

2. Use scarce agricultural resources through innovative practices to contribute towards nutrition and food security.

3. Rear small domestic animals as profitable agricultural enterprise for self-sustainability and economic development.

4. Apply technological skills, digital and media resources to enhance sustainable agricultural practices.

5. Appreciate agriculture as a worthy niche for hobby, career development, further education and training.
