It had been alleged that the new CS was keen on undertaking various reforms in schools with a review of the CBC already in place.

"Priority for leadership and administrative roles in Junior Schools will be given to administrators with primary education experience, who have advanced to secondary school training and certifications in line with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) promotional regulations," read the poster in part.
The CBC was rolled out during the reign of former President Uhuru Kenyatta. The new system of education was to replace the 8-4-4 system.
