The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development published an approved list of learning materials for Grade ten students. This marks a major step in rolling out the Competency-Based Curriculum for senior schools. Students will study four mandatory subjects, including English, Kiswahili, Core Mathematics, and Community Service Learning. They then choose three additional subjects based on their career interests, guided by teachers across the STEM, Social Sciences, or Arts and Sports Science pathways.
For the Arts and Sports Science pathway, approved books include titles like Hummingbird Music and Dance and Distinction Theatre and Film. Sports Science students might use Mountain Sports Science or Top Sports and Recreation. The Social Sciences pathway lists specific publishers for each subject, such as Oxford English and Moran Kiswahili. History students require books like Oxford Evolving World History. The STEM pathway includes approved texts for Computer Studies, Mathematics, and Biology from publishers like Modern Technology and Spotlight.
Teachers must select materials only from this official list, using both student books and teacher guides. The ministry outlined specific learning outcomes for the senior school level. By graduation, students should communicate effectively, use technology, apply mathematical reasoning, and utilize basic research skills. They should also develop their individual talents for future careers or further education.
