How school survived last-minute curriculum change to excel in KCPE
In summary
Reuben Mwambingu @reubenmwambingu
In the balmy Kikambala area of Kilifi county, about 30 kilometres North East of Mombasa town lies Mudzini School, a high end learning institution, which offers three curriculums including the old 8-4-4 system, the new Competency-Based Curriculum and the Cambridge international curriculum.
Beyond the unmistaken stylish structures that usher you into the elite setup and serene environment of the posh school, is an emotional tale of a mixture of tears, of sorrow and joy that is written across the faces of the teachers, students and parents, as they narrate a journey of struggle.
This year, the school, which started operations in 2017 had its first batch of candidates who sat for Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) exam.
Mudzini School fraternity recalls how a last-minute switching of candidates from the British based Cambridge curricula to the 8-4-4 system, nearly plunged the institution into a miasma of ridicule.
As late as 2019, 11 out of 16 candidates who sat KCPE this year at the school were sitting for their Checkpoint exams in Class Seven under the Cambridge system.
But shortly afterwards, they would switch to the 8-4-4 system and began preparing for the KCPE, a move teachers at the school say proved challenging.
