ii PREFACE The Ministry of Education (MoE) through the State Department for Basic Education, has been implementing the Competency Based Education (CBE) since the adoption of the Basic Education Curriculum Framework (KICD, 2017) during the national convention in January 2017. The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) developed Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) designs that were used for pilot studies in 2017 and 2018 before the roll-out at Pre-Primary and Primary Early Year (Grades 1 to 3 in 2019. The curriculum was then introduced in the subsequent grades through a phase in –phase out strategy, to ensure a smooth transition. Currently, the first cohort of CBC learners are at Grade 9 – the last grade at Junior School. The implementation of CBE has since benefited immensely from the recommendations of the Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms (PWPER) that were released in August, 2023 and fully implemented, in terms of curriculum designs. Grade 10 is the entry class of the Senior School (SS) in Basic Education, a very critical level where learners shall have the opportunity to focus on pathways, tracks and subjects of their choices guided by the potentials demonstrated at earlier levels. The Senior School shall; therefore, form a foundation for further education and training and/or initial competencies for the Industry. This is an important step in the realisation of the Vision and Mission of the curriculum reforms as enshrined in the Sessional Paper No. I of 2019 whose title is: Towards Realizing Quality, Relevant and Inclusive Education and Training for Sustainable Development in Kenya. The Grade 10 curriculum designs, like the designs for earlier levels, are anchored on the Kenyan National Goals of Education. They also present essence statements, general and specific expected learning outcomes as well as strands and sub strands for the learning areas. The designs also outline suggested learning experiences, key inquiry questions, core competencies, Pertinent and Contemporary Issues (PCIs), values and suggested assessment. The Ministry of Education, through the State Department for Basic Education commits to provide resources and relevant guidelines for a smooth implementation of the CBC. It is expected that the designs will guide teachers to effectively facilitate learners to attain the expected learning outcomes for Grade 10 specifically and Senior School in general. AMB. PROF.
