List of Eligible CBC Subjects and Subjects Dropped Effective in 2024

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

The recommendations of the Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms (PWPER) were adopted by President William Ruto on Tuesday, August 1, 2023, and he commanded their immediate implementation.

According to the report, pupils will be exposed to fewer topics under the altered curriculum starting in the first term of the next year. The number of learning areas will be reduced from nine to seven for Grades One through Three.

Additionally, the number of learning spaces will drop from 12 to 8 for grades 4-6 and from 14 to 9 for grades 7-9.

Pre-primary (grades k–6) will have five learning areas, while junior and senior high school (grades 7–12) will have seven.

Only a new set of courses for Junior School (Grades 7, 8, and 9) have been released by KICD thus far. New learning parts for further Grades will be available from KICD in the near future.
