Introduction of CBC

The Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) was introduced in Mpeketoni Boys High School as part of Kenya’s education reforms to equip learners with practical skills, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. Unlike the traditional exam-driven system, CBC emphasizes what students can do with the knowledge they gain, ensuring they are better prepared for real-world challenges.

Objectives of CBC

• Promote creativity, innovation, and critical thinking.
• Equip students with practical skills relevant to modern life.
• Encourage collaboration and teamwork in problem-solving.
• Support learners in identifying and developing their talents.
• Shift focus from rote memorization to competence and performance.

Implementation at Mpeketoni Boys

At Mpeketoni Boys High School, CBC has been rolled out with modern teaching approaches, digital learning tools, and co-curricular integration. Teachers have been trained to guide students through interactive lessons, project-based learning, and practical assessments.

Students are encouraged to take part in research projects, debates, community service, and innovation challenges, all aimed at nurturing independence, leadership, and life-long learning.
