Welcome back to Elimu Cafe!
In Episode 5, we move into the Grades 1–3 stage of Kenya’s Competency-Based Education (CBE). This stage builds on the Pre-Primary foundation and introduces learners to more structured learning while still keeping play, exploration, and creativity at the center.
We’ll unpack:
-The learning areas taught from Grade 1 to 3
-The key focus points at this stage of CBE
-How this phase supports children’s growth in literacy, numeracy, social skills, and values
This episode is especially valuable for parents, teachers, caregivers and stakeholders who want to understand what’s happening in the early years of primary school and how these years prepare children for the rest of their CBC journey.
At Elimu Cafe, we explore everything in a child’s world (0–18 years): childcare, curriculums, parenting, health, nutrition, law, policy, and emerging issues that shape how children grow and thrive.
Watch, share, and don’t forget to subscribe for weekly episodes as we continue exploring the stages of CBC and what they mean for our children.
