Abstract

Given the challenges associated with the 8:4:4 system of education CBC that is skill-based has been deemed appropriate to replace it. The first cohort students of CBC are currently in grade 8-junior secondary school that has been domiciled in primary schools. However, the implementation seems to be bedeviled by multiple challenges. It is against this backdrop that this paper purposes to look at implementation of CBC in Kenya: Challenges and opportunities. Objectives of the study were: to determine the human resource challenges facing implementation of CBC; to establish the Schools’ infrastructural challenges facing the implementation of CBC; to establish the financial challenges facing the implementation of CBC and to examine the opportunities that can be explored towards realization of the success of the implementation of CBC.The study explored empirical literature and it was underpinned by Provus Educational Evaluation Model (1973).The study established that there are a multiple challenges bedeviling CBC implementation including financial constraints towards funding the students’ fees, and for establishing infrastructure. That there is acute shortage of teachers for the CBC and more so the JSS and that even the few teachers employed requires continuous support through professional training and develop to make them competent enough towards effectiveness in the delivery. That there are serious gaps in infrastructure including science and computer laboratories and that there are opportunities available to improve on CBC delivery-including improvement on funding; hiring more teachers and giving them continuous professional development amongst others.

Abstract

Competency based curriculum (CBC) is a new dispensation in Kenya on its gradual replacement of 8:4:4 System of Education. The first cohort being in Grade Eight, Kenyan public universities seem not to be having measures in place towards its delivery. It is against this backdrop that this paper was purposed to assess the state of preparedness of Kenya’s Public Universities towards delivery of CBC.Specifically the paper sought to establish  lecturers’ readiness for implementation of CBC;to establish universities’ infrastructural  and curricula material preparedness toward implementation of CBC;to establish whether Kenya’s Public university schools of education are already preparing the teacher trainees towards teaching CBC programs and to establish Faculties’ attitudes towards CBC programs delivery. The study was underpinned by Concern Based Model by Hall et.al (2006). The study explored empirical literature through meta-analytical approach. The study established that: universities are not materially and infrastructural ready for implementation of CBC; That most lecturers are not ready for implementation of CBC; that many public universities are not yet training their teachers towards delivery of CBC programs; That university faculties have positive attitudes toward CBC programs. The findings have implications on universities and other stake holders to prepare lecturers for CBC, university management to look for means within their reach to help in funding and develop CBC curricula materials and infrastructure for its effective delivery, schools of education to develop teacher training curricula with CBC integration.

Abstract

Fire emergency is a common phenomenon in educational institutions, usually with lethal results if not immediately in an event of outbreak. The consequences usually include loss of life, injuries, destruction of property and institutional facilities in this year alone nearly 50 cases of school fire outbreaks have been reported in Kenya with disastrous results. Yet a comparative study of this nature in the named country is hardly there and hence it will bridge the knowledge gap in the concern. The purpose of the study was to assess the emergency of fire disaster preparedness in public and private secondary schools in Kenya.Spefically the study sought to determine the causes of frequent fire outbreaks in educational institutions in Kenya; to determine the consequences of fire outbreaks in Kenyan schools; determine the fire emergency preparedness in schools within the framework established by the Ministry of Education 2008 and to determine the way forward toward fire emergency preparedness in Kenyan Secondary schools. The study adopted meta-analysis of empirical studies in accordance to Ferrer 1998.The study established that: there are diverse causes of fire outbreaks in schools including electric faults, eruption of gas cylinders in the laboratories, use of candles in the dormitories in case of blackouts, students’ misunderstandings with school administration leading to strikes and burning schools’ property, others could be due to suspicious arsonist work. Consequences of fire outbreaks include destruction of schools’ infrastructure and property and students’ belongings, injuries and even death. That most of schools do not meet the required MOEST schools’ safety standards (2008), with grilled windows, lack of fire extinguishers, no fire assembly site. That way forward includes meeting MOEST safety guidelines, schools’ finding means preventing any possible strikes that can lead to burning of schools’ property.
