The Kenya National Union of Teachers now wants the rollout of the new curriculum set for January next year pushed to 2019.
Knut secretary-general Wilson Sossion has said teachers not ready for the rollout since the training period was not enough.
Mr Sossion said 2018 should instead be used for proper piloting of the curriculum, adequate preparation of teachers and testing of learning materials.
“We have said very clearly that the curriculum review process must follow the conventional and systematic steps and every steps must be subjected to public participation,” the union boss said.
Sossion maintained that that there has not been enough public participation during the development of the curriculum.
"Should the curriculum be rolled out as planned, it would trigger the biggest disaster ever witnessed in the country’s education, he warned.
