List of CBC Subjects Selected and Dropped Beginning in 2024

List of CBC Subjects Selected and Dropped Beginning in 2024. Beginning in January 2024, the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) will reduce the number of learning areas for learners in the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC).

On Tuesday, August 1, 2023, President William Ruto accepted and ordered the immediate implementation of the proposals of the Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms (PWPER).

According to the report, pupils would have fewer topics under the redesigned curriculum beginning in term one of next year. The number of learning areas for grades one through three will be reduced from nine to seven.

In addition, learning areas will be decreased from 12 to 8 for grades 4-6 and from 14 to 9 for grades 7-9.

Pre-primary will have five learning areas, while junior and senior school (grades seven to twelve) would have seven.
