I found this on Pinterest but would be happy to give credit to the artist if I know who it is "My role, as the President's program officer, is to implement the president's program, and that is what I'm doing. They should then be comparing president to president, because I'm implementing the president's program." Education CS Fred Matiangi
If there is anything so bizarre to an educator like myself, it's the secrecy and the hurry to change Kenya's education system so fundamentally.
For the longest time, we the public, including we who train teachers, relied on press reports to figure out what the new education system is about. Our queries on social media to the Education CS and KICD gave us PR statements about stakeholders being involved, but we still could get no access to the documents themselves. Eventually, a teacher exasperated with our complaints challenged us to google the document and get a copy. What I found was the Basic Education Curriculum Framework, whose file name indicates final, but looks like the badly done term papers that I sometimes grade.
