A national education dialogue has been launched.
Speaking at Nakuru Boys' High school on Monday during the launch, Education Cabinet Secretary Prof George Magoha said this will help in addressing challenges facing the education sector in the country.
The CS also revealed that the Competence-Based Curriculum that has been facing a lot of opposition in implementing has already started working after a survey that the ministry and the Teacher Service Commission conducted in the last four months across the country.
"According to our survey, the new curriculum has already kicked off," he said.
While noting that the CBC has faced several challenges among them inadequate infrastructure, Magoha stated that the few shortcomings should not be used to abort the move to implementing the curriculum.
He added that the national dialogue is open to collect views from different stakeholders saying that anyone's input that is geared to making the CBC work will be incorporated.
According to the CS, TSC and the Ministry of Education have already trained one hundred thousand teachers on the new curriculum.
However, he has stated that the ministry and TSC will by the end of August this year have trained another similar bunch to teach pupils who will be in Year Four.
Magoha also warned the teachers unions that are against the implementation of the CBC saying that they should do their research in schools and see that the CBC is working.
On his side, Nakuru County Deputy Governor Dr Erick Korir said that every stakeholder should support the CBC to reduce the increasing number of jobless graduates.
