Gov’t Invites Public Reviews On CBC Senior School Curriculum
The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) has invited applications to join panels that will examine senior schools in the final stages of adopting the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) system.
In a notice published in the official journal MyGov, KICD requested that teachers, teacher educators at colleges or universities, and professionals assist in the development, review, and approval of curricula, programs, and curriculum support materials for senior schools.
“The KICD invites teachers, teacher educators (in colleges and universities), and professionals in the industry with relevant qualifications and experience to apply for membership in subject panels for senior schools,” reads part of the notice issued on Tuesday, 4th February.

Subject panels are in charge of starting and guiding curriculum development initiatives in their particular subjects.
They constantly examine existing syllabuses and offer revisions or enhancements as needed.
The senior school includes Grades 10, 11, and 12, which target students aged 15 to 17 years.
Under the new system, senior schools will create the groundwork for future education, postsecondary training, and employment.
After finishing Grade 9, pupils progress to senior school, where they begin to specialize in their chosen professional pathways.
The CBC structure provides three main pathways: Arts and Sports Science, Social Sciences, and Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
The first cohort of senior schools under CBC is set to begin Grade 10 in January 2026.
This follows their journey through Junior Secondary School, which consists of Grades 7, 8, and 9. This is because the 8-4-4 system is due to collapse with the final KCSE exams scheduled for 2027.
Applicants must be certified instructors in any topic taught in senior schools or teacher training institutions, as well as registered with the Teachers Service Commission or any applicable professional body.
They must have at least five years of teaching experience in secondary schools, colleges, universities, or industry.
Prior experience as a panelist should be indicated. Experience as an examiner for the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) or other internationally acknowledged examination bodies is advantageous.

The assessment comes as the Ministry of Education prepares to add maritime training within the CBC.
This program attempts to tap into the Blue Economy, which has the potential to produce income and create numerous job opportunities each year.
“Applicants should submit letters forwarded by the Heads of Institution and attach copies of relevant certificates and testimonials,” said KICD.
All applications must be submitted to the Director or Chief Executive Officer, Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development, PO Box 30231, 00100, Nairobi, by Friday, February 14, 2025.
