Sossion had earlier led his group in questioning the new curriculum but after a meeting with Education CS Fred Matiang'i the union leader has come out with a change of heart.

“This is a very historic moment for the education sector in this country because this is not just a curriculum but quality curriculum that can transform the lives of the students in this country and citizens of this nation,” said Sossion.

“Our argument has always been we should not miss any step; we must get it right. Education remains the driving force even in the 2030 agenda and we are happy with the next phase that this curriculum is taking and the activities that have been lined up this year satisfies our concerns as teachers,” added Sossion.

He called on everyone to support the process and not be anxious as by the end of the year, an evaluation report should have been developed.

Matiangi said that it will take up to 2027 to completely phase out the 8-4-4 system
