Editor's Review

Junior Secondary School students are set to report next week on Monday, January 30, 2023. 

The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) on Friday, January 27 unveiled a list of textbooks to be used in Grade 7.

According to KICD CEO Charles Ongondo, the books have been evaluated to International standards.

Ongondo asked teachers, parents, and learners to give feedback for reviewing and adjustments.

“KICD welcomes feedback from users including learners, teachers, and parents so that we may use feedback during review and necessary adjustments,” he said.
