Competency is the ability to apply appropriate knowledge and skills to successfully perform a function. Therefore, this curriculum provides the opportunity for learners to develop and apply their skills and knowledge, or in other words, their competencies in their daily lives. The basic definition of a Competency-Based Curriculum is that it is Child- centred learning. CBC Child-centred learning is an approach to teaching that places children at the centre of the learning process. Here are five important ideas in child-centred learning: 1. Learning is social; learners often do activities in pairs or groups and help each other to learn; 2. Learners develop a wide range of thinking skills, such as analysing, creating and evaluating; 3. The teacher is a facilitator of learning, not simply a source of knowledge; 4. The teacher plans lessons around the needs, interests and environment of the learners; 5. Each lesson starts from what the learners already know and builds on this. The new system of education in Kenya has a structure of 2-6-3-3: 1. Early Years Education: • Pre-primary: a two-year programme – Pre-primary I and Pre-primary II; • Lower Primary: the first three years of primary school – Grades 1, 2 and 3; 2.

  • Professors Pay Glowing Tribute to 'Academic Doyen'
    Professors pay glowing tribute to 'academic doyen' By GEORGEMAGOHA The world woke up to a rude shock last Tuesday with the news of the death of a founding academic icon, Prof David Peter Simon Wasawo, who passed on at the Aga Khan Hospital early that morning at the age of 91. Prof Wasawo was a pioneer African zoolo- gist in East Africa who taught at Makerere University in the 1950s and 1960s and at the University of Nairobi in the 1960s and early 1970s before joining international bodies including UN agencies, Tanzania Scientific Research Council. and the Organisation of African Unity panels and countries.

OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NAIROBI AT NAIROBI, KENYA ON 30TH NOVEMBER, 1998 u cvr CITATION ON PROFESSOR JOSEPH MAINA MUNGAI, EBS MBChB (Makerere), Ph.D.(London) "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants," The above statement, which is sometimes attributed to Sir Isaac Newton and at other times to Claude Bernard, can be aptly used to describe one man that the Univer- sity of Nairobi is pleased to honour today. A man through whom many scholars in this country can claim to have seen further because they stood on his shoulders. A man popularly known by his students as the "Posture of Man." This scholar is Prof. Joseph Maina Mungai. Professor Joseph Maina Mungai was born on 4th April. 1932in Nairobi. He grew up in Kiambu District where he attended several primary schools; dropping out from time to time to sell sugar cane in the market or run his father's kiosk. In 1942he dropped out of school altogether to go and become a full time herdsboy for 2 years. After the two years young Mungai resumed school and in 1949he sat for the Kenya African Preliminary Exami- nation which he passed and was admitted to Alliance High School Kikuyu.

Dramatic License: Histories Of Kenyan Theater, 1895-1964 Abstract This dissertation demonstrates how theatrical performances allowed for African political interventions into many of the most significant political moments in enyK a’s colonial history. Though the African majority was largely blocked from participation in the white settler colony’s centralized political institutions, many Africans found roles as musicians, audience members, and even actors within their colonizers’ ubiquitous pastime of amateur theater. By refashioning themselves as performers, disenfranchised people of color reinvented themselves as political actors—arming themselves with the language and ideology of the imperial state and using that language to both participate in and to undermined colonial politics. Bringing expressive culture to bear on Kenyan history, suggests that East African political culture has a dual nature that complicates narratives of collaboration or resistance. The great body of studies published on Kenyan colonial history to this point have given us a rich understanding of both ethno-historical forces and the frameworks of major political tensions.

  • Religion and Politics in Kenya
    Henry Martyn Lectures 2005 Religion and Politics in Kenya Professor John Lonsdale A series of three lectures was given by Professor John Lonsdale of Trinity College, Cambridge on Monday 7th, Tuesday 8th and Wednesday 9th February at the Faculty of Divinity, West Road, Cambridge. The lecture titles were: Foundations , Conflicts and Questions. Guests who attended the reception, which followed the first lecture included: The High Commissioner of Kenya, His Excellency, Mr Joseph Muchemi/Bishop Simon Barrington-Ward/Dr Brian Stanley Mrs Muchemi and Mrs Moya Lonsdale THE HENRY MARTYN LECTURES 2005 "Religion and Politics in Kenya" by John Lonsdale Trinity College, Cambridge LECTURE 1: Monday 7th February 2005 FOUNDATIONS Introduction Two centuries ago, in 1805, the young Henry Martyn left his fellowship at St John's College and curacy at Holy Trinity Church to set sail for India. In his first five years out there, as chaplain to the East India Company, he had translated the New Testament into Urdu and Persian. In his short life he also helped in the translation of the Gospels into Arabic. Much of what I have to say in these three lectures given in his honour is an historian's comment on the consequences of vernacular translations of the Bible, especially their gifts to political identity in Kenya and to that country's sometimes critical, sometimes vainglorious, language of politics. Some of these gifts of the translated Word can be counted as blessings to the people of Kenya, some as hindrances. The ambiguity of the relations between religion and politics in the modern history of that country lies at the core of what I have to say.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. William W. Baldwin, Mau Mau Man-Hunt: The Adventures of the Only American Who Has Fought the Terrorists in Kenya, New York: Dutton, 1957, 18, 49, 98, 174. 2. New York Times, June 12, 1955. 3. The militant African opposition in Colonial Kenya was denoted as “Mau Mau,” not least by those who fought them. They have also been referred to as the Land and Freedom Army. The origin of the term “Mau Mau” is contested. See e.g., George Bennett, “Revolutionary Kenya: The Fifties, a Review,” Race, 8 (Number 4, 1967): 415–420, 415, MSS/10/87, Kenya National Archives–Nairobi: hereafter noted as KNA: According to this author, the first African who disclosed the existence of the liberation forces in a police station in Naivasha, Kenya, asserted, “ ‘I have been given MUMA,’ an oath. The European being neither able to pronounce nor spell [the term] correctly created his own pronunciation . ‘Mau Mau’.” But see P. Godfrey Okoth, United States of America’s Foreign Policy toward Kenya, 1952–1969, Nairobi: Gideon S. Were Press, 1992, 1: “Mau Mau” writes this author is a “garbled expression referring to a repeti- tion of the word ‘uma’ or ‘get out’ ” Note also the existence of the “Mau Escarpment,” an essential part of the topography of Kenya. Beryl Markham, whose writings about Kenya helped to bring this nation to a wider audience in the North Atlantic commu- nity, spoke wistfully about the “slopes of the Mau.” See Beryl Markham, West with the Night, Surrey, UK: Virago, 1984 [First published in 1942], 136.

Their experiences reveal an intolerant, oppressive and paranoid government that could not stand criticism. Surprisingly, the government’s flagrant disregard for the law and the blatant violation of the survivors’ and victims’ human rights happened in the glare and watchful eyes of the donor and international community.
