Prof. Raphael Munavu, chair of the 42-member committee, will deliver the findings at State House in Nairobi.

The committee reported its preliminary findings to the president on December 1, 2022, who gave the committee the order to hold the junior secondary schools, or Grades 7, 8, and 9, at the current primary schools.

In particular, the committee will advocate for increasing equal access to education for underprivileged groups, including socially, economically, or geographically disenfranchised, vulnerable populations, children, and those with special needs.

The report will also suggest a monitoring system for locating and enrolling children of school age, ensuring that everyone has access to pre-primary, primary, and secondary education.

President Ruto has been adamant that his administration will make every effort to ensure CBC benefits, Kenyan kids.

The committee's responsibility was to go around the country to get the views of Kenyans and, more so, parents on the new Competency-based curriculum CBC after it emerged that the curriculum has different feelings for parents and affects the learners.
