The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development has reduced the number of subjects under the Competence-Based Curriculum in line with the recommendations by the Presidential Working Party on Education Reform (PWPER).
In a circular to regional, county and subcounty directors of Education dated December 20, Basic Education Permanent Secretary Belio Kipsang said KICD reached the decision in consultation with the Ministry of Education.
PWPER said learning areas under the CBC needed to be integrated to address gaps and content overload.
