Nairobi, April 9 -- Learners in pre-primary and primary school will have new textbooks in January 2025 following the first review of the content of the competency-based curriculum (CBC).

The process to replace the textbooks that have been in use has already kicked off and publishers yesterday submitted manuscripts for evaluation to the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD). The institute had invited submissions of materials for all learning areas in pre-primary I and II and Grades 1 to 4.

The CBC was rolled out in 2019 and has faced various challenges ranging from distribution of textbooks to schools to complaints about the quality of the learning materials.
