The Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) in Kenya represents a transformative shift in our educational approach, focusing on developing skills that are vital for the 21st century. The CBC emphasises competencies such as critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving-abilities that are essential in today's rapidly evolving, technology-driven world.

For CBC to fully achieve its goals, every teacher and learner should have access to a laptop, supported by reliable internet connectivity in all schools across the country.
