Teachers engage in CBC retooling at a training venue in Kenya. 🖼️

What’s Happening? 📰

From July 28 to August 15, 2025, the TSC is conducting a massive retooling program for 51,360 regular senior secondary school teachers and 360 Special Needs Education (SNE) teachers across 856 venues nationwide. This initiative prepares educators for the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) rollout in senior secondary schools (Grades 10-12) starting January 2026. The focus? Equipping teachers to deliver a student-centered, skills-based curriculum across three pathways: STEM, Social Sciences, and Arts and Sports Science. 🎓🔬🎨

Challenges & Outlook 🚧🔮

While the TSC’s efforts are a significant step, the Kenya Secondary Schools Heads Association (KESSHA) warns of challenges: inadequate infrastructure, staffing shortages in rural areas, and outdated school fees structures (unchanged since 2015). The 2025-2026 education budget of over Sh 700 billion aims to address these, but principals stress prioritizing teacher preparedness and resources for a smooth CBC transition. The stakes are high to ensure Kenya’s students are ready for a skills-based future! 🌟
