DP Rigathi Gachagua now says there are no plans to scrap CBC
Deputy
President Rigathi Gachagua has cleared the air on the current government’s
stand on the Competence Based Curriculum (CBC), rubbishing claims that it will be
done away with.
Speaking
in Kisumu on Friday, the DP revealed that the task force currently being formed
will be seeking views on how to enhance CBC to favour all sector players to
ensure the holistic development of learners.
“When
that team is unveiled and will be going around the country, please don't just
complain at home or in market centres…please turn up and present these people
with your views on what you think should be done to improve CBC and the entire
education system," Gachagua said.
Accompanied
by a host of leaders, the DP further reiterated the government’s commitment to
enhance the performing arts sector, which he said can be harnessed to generate
employment for the youth and magnify positive aspects of the Kenyan culture.
"Very
soon we will roll out a program on how to harness talent and the creativity of
our people and slowly, gradually turn it into a source of income and our
contribution to our GDP," he stated.
The
DP in his address during the 94th edition of the
Kenya National Music Festival also, albeit on a light note,
seemingly embraced his popular ‘Riggy G’ nickname.
“Our young people are very creative, even I am amazed that
our creative young people have given me a nickname,” he said.
“They have looked at my two names, Rigathi Gachagua, looked
for something sounding easier, more melodious and called me 'Riggy G'. I don’t
think it is a bad name.”
