  • Most universities in Kenya are not well prepared to align these pathway learning areas with academic programmes. By 2029 some of the universities shall be irrelevant in this process of transitioning learners from senior schools to university education. There's little technical input from universities in structuring programms for the new system of education as 8-4-4 phases out in few years' time. The banking of CBC programms with the required facilities under the new system of education should be made a necessary tool to back up the ongoing reforms in education. Universities should set up Curriculum alignment framework.

  • Nice but would you please give me secondary schools and subject,pathway they offer in homabay.
