**Title:** Redesigning CBC for Responsive Education: Ruto’s Speech on Madaraka Day 2023
**Description:**
Welcome to the official KBC Channel 1! In this video, watch Ruto’s compelling speech on Madaraka Day 2023, where he discusses the efforts being made to redesign the Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) in Kenya’s education system, making it more responsive to the needs of students. As part of these initiatives, the National Open University is set to obtain its charter this month, opening doors for Kenyans to pursue higher education from the comfort of their own homes through online platforms.
Ruto highlights how the government is reimagining higher education financing to ensure equity and broader access for all Kenyans, with special emphasis on enabling vulnerable learners to access quality education. This includes the historic employment of 35,000 teachers, aiming to improve the teacher-pupil ratio and enhance academic performance.
Furthermore, efforts are underway to design a more comprehensive competence-based education curriculum that addresses the social, cultural, and economic aspects of Kenya’s development. The goal is to create a curriculum that aligns with the evolving needs of the country and prepares students for the challenges and opportunities of the future.
The National Open University’s upcoming charter acquisition marks a significant milestone in expanding educational opportunities. Courses are already being uploaded for commissioning, and later this year, Kenyans will have the unparalleled opportunity to pursue university education online, bringing tertiary education within reach for more individuals in Kenya.
Ruto’s speech also unveils a new funding model for higher education, aimed at making universities and technical training institutions more financially inclusive, robust, and globally competitive. This model supports the increasing number of students enrolling in these institutions, while ensuring equal education opportunities for individuals from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds.
