The High Court of Kenya has struck out a petition challenging the rollout of the of CBC Education Curriculum which replaced the 8-4-4 education system.
The judges have, however, ordered the Education CS to amend the education laws to align with the structure of Competent Based Curriculum in 120 days.
According to Judges Hedwig Ongundi, Antony Mrima and Antony Ndung’u the Court was satisfied that nullifying the CBC education system at this stage would not be to the best interest of the Kenyan Children and will cause havoc to the education sector of the Country.
While dismissing the petition filed by lawyer Nelson Havi, the bench ruled that he had not proved his case.
“It is evident that the Competency-Based Curriculum has already been rolled out the teachers have undergone training, and the government has already set out finances for the implementation. Stopping implementation will cause havoc in the education system,” the judges said.
