The National Parents Association (NPA) has announced that they will join an ongoing lawsuit to protect the Competency-Based Curriculum.
“Without a doubt, we will join the case,” stated NPA Chairman Nicholas Maiyo on Monday. My Council has asked our Chief Executive Officer to act quickly to guarantee that the matter does not move on without us.”
Maiyo was speaking on the CBC during an engagement with Education stakeholders at the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) when he remarked that the association’s worry is primarily about court processes that seek to bury Kenyan children’s professional dreams and obstruct national growth.
“We thus hope that first: whoever brought this suit bears the interests of our children at heart, is a parent with a child or children in public schools, is our member, spoke to us and we responded to them in earnest and is generally honest and sincere to the cause at hand,” he added.

Last Monday, President Nelson Havi of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) filed a court case seeking a halt to the implementation of the Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC).
The petition also asks if Education Cabinet Secretary Professor George Magoha may change the educational system through sessional papers and policy decisions rather than through law.
In addition, Havi requests that the case be tried by an even number of judges, preferably five.
