Implementation of competency-based curriculum in higher education institutions in Kenya

Abstract

The growing global economy has brought about new challenges and requirements. This calls for reforms in the education sector. This chapter sought to investigate preparedness of higher institutions of learning on implementation of competency-based curriculum (CBC) in Kenya. The primary objectives were to establish the level of training of academic staff and availability of teaching learning resources for competency-based curriculum implementation in higher institutions of learning. The study established that universities in Kenya will receive the first competency-based curriculum cohort in the year 2029, and preparations for the implementation of the new curriculum are ongoing.
