In the same breath, the deputy president weighed in on the Competence Based Curriculum (CBC) talk.

He said that the government would review the new curriculum with the aim of improving it.

Gachagua said the government would set up a task force to address areas of concern in the CBC curriculum in consultation with the relevant stakeholders including parents.

"Our Government will soon be unveiling a task force to look at educational reforms including CBC with a view not of abolishing it but reviewing it so that we retain what is good and improve what is causing concern," Gachagua stated.

He called on Kenyans to support the task force through public participation to create a suitable curriculum.
