University Placement students under CBC.
Introduction.
From the trusted sources of information, the new curriculum is to be implemented fully in the campus to assist new teacher students to get adapted to.
The Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) in Kenya follows a 2-6-6-3 approach, guiding learners up to the university level.
Under the new CBC system, students spend 2 years in pre-primary, followed by 6 years in primary school, 6 years in secondary school (split into 3 years each for junior and senior levels), and eventually 3 years in university.
University education remains the highest level, akin to the previous 8-4-4 system.
Going by the current generation the new curriculum fits learners as per standards of learning, since more is done from students unlike 8-4-4 whereby teachers are to give more by research.
The introduction of CBC marks a transformative shift in the education system, emphasizing a competency-based approach.
Many wonder how CBC students will navigate their path to university, but the system offers numerous advantages over the old 8-4-4 system.
CBC prioritizes what learners can do over what they know, focusing on individual competencies and nurturing students’ potential.
Unlike the exam-oriented approach of 8-4-4 Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) encourages learners to develop critical skills such as communication, collaboration, and problem-solving.
The differences between 8-4-4 and CBC are stark, with CBC offering a learner-oriented, varied grading criteria, and smaller learning slots compared to the teacher-oriented, uniform grading, and monotony of 8-4-4.
The new CBC system is all about equipping learners with skills which will assist them to be competency in the whole world as the nations are revolving every day.
The government is encouraging parents to be supportive and provide all required for better learning of the students, since more practical work is needed unlike theory.
In summary, Competence-Based Curriculum(CBC) equips students with the skills necessary for success in university and beyond, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and self-efficacy.
