The Competency-Based Education (CBC) is Kenya's reformed curriculum, shifting from the traditional 8-4-4 system to a 3-tier structure: Early Years, Middle School, and Senior School. It focuses on core competencies like digital literacy, critical thinking, and citizenship.

• Personalized learning paths — students advance by mastering competencies
• Digital literacy integrated from early years
• Critical thinking and problem-solving emphasis
• Assessment through competency bands: exceeding, meeting, approaching, below expectation
• Technical and vocational training pathways
• Focus on practical skills for employment readiness
