Nairobi Single Mum Hilariously Rants On Live TV, Disappointed With CBC: "Walimu Wananonea Kwa Pesa Yetu"

• Faith, a single mum of two, expressed her disappointment with the new education system, the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC)
• She recalled when her child in Grade 3 informed her the teacher asked the class to go to school with a chicken, an egg and some traditional vegetable
• The Nairobi boda boda rider narrated another instance when her child also told her the teacher wanted a picture of their bed sent on WhatsApp

Nairobi - A woman has shared her authentic opinion on the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) education system.

The lady, identified as Faith, said she was heavily disappointed with the new education system in the country.

The boda boda rider highlighted her interactions with her two kids, one in Grade 3 and another in Grade 4, as about the new curriculum.

CBC demands on Grade 3 pupil

Faith was not happy with the demands of the curriculum, as she recalled one of her children making questionable requests.

"Some day I arrived with so much stress from work due to traffic snarl-up and disagreements with customers. My child came to me and told me the teacher wanted them to go to school with a chicken, egg and traditional vegetables.

As a single mum, I have just arrived in the house and the kids may want supper and maybe I planned to cook cabbage. Will I go out and look for that vegetable? The teachers are fattening themselves with our money," she ranted on Citizen TV Kenya.

Looking for school fees in Nairobi

The Nairobi mother said she could not look for school fees for her children and food for the teacher.

She also painted a scenario where her child broke an egg on his way to school, and the child was forced to get another.

"So he goes back to the house while I am at work. The child uses the money I left behind for dinner and uses it to buy a new egg. My budget is messed up," she added.

Sending picture on WhatsApp

She noted when her Grade 3 child was asked to take and send a picture of their bed through WhatsApp.

Faith questioned the teacher's motive, wondering how bed and education marry each other.

"I feel so much hurt as a parent," she concluded.

Babu Owino's stance on CBC

In a different story, Babu Owino called for the scrapping of CBC, saying the programme was wasting learners.

The Embakasi East lawmaker asked Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu to consider doing away with the education system.

The legislator further decried the shortage of teachers in Junior Secondary Schools, saying that some teachers were forced to teach over eight subjects.
