The much hyped new syllabus has been canceled ahead of it’s implementation in January 2019.
Education Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed also indicated that the pilot that has currently advanced to grade 3 will be halted to allow consultations with stakeholders.
“Those who were to move to Grade Four in the pilot program will instead move to Standard Three but it will not affect their progress,” the CS stated.
According to the Education boss, the decision was arrived at after an internal evaluation revealed that the Ministry was not ready to roll out new curriculum.
“We have to make sure that everything is in place, enough teachers are trained and the right books re in place,” she added.
The new curriculum will now await wider evaluation by the ministry which will also see a decision on a timetable for the roll out.
