  Kenya's new Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) focuses on four key skills, called   the four C's: Communication & Collaboration Critical Thinking & Problem Solving Creativity & Innovation Citizenship Why Are The Four C's Important? The four C's were chosen to help students thrive in a changing, digital world. Every subject taught as part of CBC is linked to these four skills. No matter what class students find themselves in, they will be building one or more of the four C's. They were chosen to fix the shortcomings of the previous education system in Kenya. The four C's build soft skills in students, they improve self-learning and self-efficacy, they emphasize ethics and morality to create strong citizens, and they promote creativity for a changing, digital world. 1.

In Kenya, the median age is only 20 years old; This means that the country’s future is in young people’s hands. Empowering them to become confident, skilled leaders and advocates today can have a powerful impact for years to come. In Bungoma County, a region in western Kenya where more than half of the population lives in poverty, a home-grown, grassroots youth movement is emerging, preparing young people to create a more prosperous future.

Both programs are part of the Youth in Action initiative of Amref Health Africa. Through BUNGOMA COUNTY YOUTH MOVE...

You stood on the front line With your eyes on the trophy your back turned to oppression There was never any shadow behind you Even thought you always faced the bright light. If you ever compromised your stand It must have been that single flame burning so bright Then fading away to keep our faith and sight on the National dream. Didn’t we all walk in your shadow? Hoping for sunrise to secure our dreams Wishing upon the moon to glow on our future? You walked the talk and talked the walk Ever running at times to crawl And ever screaming at times of silence Now that a great hero is fallen I see vultures there is a carcass The whole nation awash with tears Some tears from the hea...
