Former Knut secretary general Wilson Sossion has said the Competence-based curriculum was created to benefit the private schools.
During an interview with K24 on Tuesday, Sossion said that the real agenda was to force secondary schools to have Grade 7 and because public schools could not afford it, the private actors will then have a field day of admitting many learners.
“The CBC model brought to Kenya is meant to create inequalities, and suppress the ability to deliver of public schools, because the public schools will not have the ability to deliver, the private schools will fit in that space,” Sossion said.
He said domiciling Grade 7 learners in secondary schools was an ill-informed move. That it was more political than business.
Sossion said he is glad that the Kenya Kwanza government has gone back to the public for changes.
He, however, said that what is being done now should have been done at the design stage before the curriculum was implemented.
He said the CBC model introduced to Kenya is not the true CBC, terming it as a business model meant to create inequalities.
