CBC learners at senior secondary schools to specialize in a career path of their choice based on the three pathways according to the KICD roadmap
CBC learners at senior secondary schools to specialize in a career path of their choice based on the three pathways according to the KICD roadmap.
Prior to the introduction in 2026, principals have announced the beginning of the process of identifying and selecting different courses for senior secondary school, including sports, arts, social sciences (or science), technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
This comes after the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) explained the roadmap for the Competency-Based Curriculum.
The senior high CBC students will specialize in the three professional pathways—arts and sports, social sciences and science, or STEM—based on their personal preferences.
This year marks the end of the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examinations, with the last 8-4-4 class currently in Standard Eight.
Outgoing Kenya Secondary School Head Teachers Association chairman Indimuli Kahi said the educationists have begun preparations and identification processes of the various pathways for Senior Secondary Schools.
Mr. Kahi said that with guidance from KICD, each school will begin looking at its manpower and facilities and choose the specific pathways to take.

“We wanted to know the shape senior secondary school will take, and I am happy that KICD has come up with a roadmap. This gives us the opportunity to go back to our schools, interrogate the roadmaps with our boards of management, analyze what we have, and decide what kind of pathways we can start thinking about,” said Mr. Kahi.
However, the principals urged the Ministry of Education to ensure adequate preparations before the rollout, citing inadequate infrastructure and teacher training to handle the ´first cohort of CBC learners in SSS.
The KICD urged principals to start familiarising themselves with Senior Schools ahead of its rollout in 2026. “It is important that we start to socialize ourselves with what will take place at the senior school level. We are expecting a report from the Presidential Party on Education Reforms which may change a few things,” KICD chief executive officer Prof Charles Ong’ondo told the Principals during the annual delegates conference in Mombasa on Thursday.
