Kenyan schools are proactively integrating environmental education into their curriculum to instill conservation values and practices among students, contributing to a sustainable future for the country's natural resources.
This article examines the criticisms and challenges of Kenya's competency-based curriculum (CBC), highlighting concerns over its emphasis on outcomes rather than the learning process. It discusses the impact on teachers, the debate over the best educational system, and the need for a curriculum that fosters economic opportunities and personal growth.
The recently introduced university funding model in Kenya, launched by President William Ruto in May 2023, aims to resolve financial crises in public universities and TVET colleges. However, it has sparked significant debate among educators and policymakers. Critics argue the model falls short in addressing affordability and relies on questionable data for means testing, leaving many students unable to pursue higher education. Exclusion of private universities from funding and concerns over government budget cuts further complicate the issue. Stakeholders call for more inclusive, transparent policy-making and better communication to ensure accessible, affordable higher education for all Kenyan students.
