Embrace Technology, Empower Learning!
Kenya’s Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) focuses on nurturing skills like creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration. But how do we make learning even more engaging and accessible? Enter technology—your new partner in education! From interactive coding courses to flexible online lessons, tech tools are transforming how students learn, parents support, and teachers teach. Let’s explore how you can use these tools to unlock CBC success, whether at home or in school!

CBC isn’t just about textbooks—it’s about hands-on learning and real-world skills. Technology helps by:
- Making lessons interactive (think videos, quizzes, and games!).
- Giving students flexibility to learn anytime, anywhere.
- Helping teachers personalize lessons for different learning styles.
