Kenya's Competency-Based Education (CBE) curriculum shifts the focus from rote memorisation to what a learner can actually do. Instead of asking "what did the child memorise?", CBE asks "what can the child demonstrate?"
The Seven Core Competencies
- Communication and collaboration
- Critical thinking and problem solving
- Creativity and imagination
- Citizenship
- Digital literacy
- Learning to learn
- Self-efficacy
How We Apply It At Koolridge
From Playgroup to Grade 4, our lessons are built around activities: counting with real objects, storytelling circles, nature walks, simple coding games and group projects. Assessment is continuous — teachers observe, record and guide rather than rank.
Parents receive regular feedback on each competency, so you always know exactly how your child is growing. Talk to us to learn more.
