Gov't changes tune over education curriculum in TVET over the integration of CBC at tertiary institutions
Gov’t changes tune over education curriculum in TVET over the integration of CBC at tertiary institutions.
The Technical and Vocational Education and Training Authority (TVETA) and the Kenya Qualifications Authority (KNQA) have been given permission by the government to continue accrediting training programs at higher institutions.
This came to light after a report by the Directorate of University Education showed that many tertiary institutions are not prepared to incorporate Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET) curricula in their curriculum in light of the anticipated changes as the nation transitions to a new educational system.
According to the research, higher learning institutions are unable to execute CBET, which is intended to develop career paths for creative and technical skills that combine innovation and theoretical knowledge.

In the change of policy, the technical institutions were allowed to admit trainees in the already licensed TVET Curriculum Development Assessment and Certification Council courses.
Principal Secretary State Department for Technical, Vocational Education and Training, Dr. Esther Thaara Muoria revoked a previous circular dated September 12, 2022.
‘‘I am aware you are in receipt of the Technical and Vocational Education and Training Authority (TVETA) Circular Ref: TVETA 5/2 dated September 12, 2022 (announcing) suspension of licensing of TVET CDACC courses and training,’’ Thaara said.
The Presidential Task Force on Parastatal Reforms 2013 recommended the transfer of mandate and licensing of the Tveta to the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development and Kenya National Examinations Council.
