Kenya’s education system was officially changed from the 8-4-4 system to the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) 2-6-6-3 in 2017, following a directive given by the former education Cabinet Secretary Dr. Fred Matiangi.
The first CBC cohort piloted in 2017 will complete Grade 12 (currently Form 4) in 2028 and the last students who will go through the 8-4-4 system are currently in Class 5 (in 2020), taking Form 4 in 2027.
The CBC curriculum has been designed to help fulfill Kenya’s vision 2030 by creating wholesome individuals who can successfully transition from school to work. With Kenyans slowly adapting to the CBC curriculum, innovative Kenyans led by Mr. Joseph Chacha, have come up with a digital learning platform, “SomaSmart”, to complement the learning experience.
For your child to get access to his or her class subjects, one is required to pay a subscription fee of Ksh 349 for 100 days (1 term).
For schools and institutions, SomaSmart has different packages depending on the number of pupils/students to be enrolled on the site. Contact SomaSmart team info@somasmart for the latest packages on schools offer.
SomaSmart digital learning platform is in no doubt a great tool for enhancing education in Kenya. As a parent, you must be wondering why you should register to this platform while there are textbooks which are readily available to your kids and are even free of charge. Well, when you interact with the platform, you will discover that it’s a very beneficial tool to learners. It not only allows them to get access to learning material at the click of a button but also finds fun and interactive way to learn.
