On Wednesday the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development diretor Julius Jwan announced that, the last KCSE exams to be done will be that of 2025.
As he addressed the Kenya Primary School Heads Association (KEPSHA) Conference he explained that the old curriculum (8-4-4) would end in the next 7 years.
He also noted that the curriculum would be implemented in stages hence teachers would be trained to ensure a steady transition.
"When we roll out the curriculum, we are not going to do training for people who teach in primary up to Form Four; we start with the level that we are implementing first, that is the pre- and lower primary.
“It is not hurried, In 2019 we will move to the next level, that is Standard Four and Five. Very gradual. Come 2020, we roll out Standard Six.
“By the time we will be finishing the current system, we shall have taken about seven years. Is that really a hurried process? This is done very professionally," Jwan said.
