Education stakeholders have called on the government to increase its investment in the education sector by expanding Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) centers across all counties. This call comes as an AI center was launched at the Gravity CBC center in Nairobi, promising to revolutionize education through the use of technology.
The launch event saw various education stakeholders emphasizing the importance of replicating CBC centers in all counties. They suggested that schools lacking adequate facilities should have access to common places within their areas for learning.
Duncan Arimi, the CEO of Gravity CBC center, introduced the AI center’s locally assembled super machine designed to make learning enjoyable and engaging. “Our AI center is using cutting-edge technology to motivate learners and transform the learning experience into a fun and interactive process,” said Arimi.
To further promote the integration of artificial intelligence in education, Gravity CBC center is hosting a free expo for school heads throughout the week. The expo aims to showcase the benefits and importance of AI in enhancing the education system and preparing students for the future.
School heads who attended the launch praised the CBC approach, describing it as a game-changer in Kenya’s education system. They believe that CBC is effectively equipping children with the necessary skills and competencies for the future.
Paul Wanjohi, a board member of the Gravity CBC center and leader of APBET Schools, challenged the government to invest in retooling teachers. “Retooling our teachers and equipping them with the necessary skills to adapt to advancements in education is crucial,” Wanjohi emphasized.
The calls for expanding CBC centers across counties and investing in teacher training highlight the growing importance of prioritizing education in Kenya. With the introduction of the AI center at Gravity CBC, there is renewed hope for a brighter and more innovative future for education in the country.
The government’s response to these calls will be closely watched as stakeholders and educators continue to advocate for improvements in the education sector.
