The curriculum developer has appealed to teachers and parents to ensure that books learners use meet quality standards. This follows concerns that some books circulating in the market are not approved for teaching and learning. Parents must also confirm that the complementary textbooks they buy for their children are age appropriate. [wpedon id=”734″ align=”center”] “Textbooks are important in curriculum delivery. They must be the right ones to ensure learners are not treated to misleading content,” Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) CEO, Dr Julius Jwan said in Nairobi.

The CEO cited a textbook titled, ‘Blood ties’ by Storymoja Publishers, which has been circulating in the market saying, it is not listed in the Orange book. The Orange book contains the list of all the approved books for learners in various classes. Dr Jwan observed that some unscrupulous traders might take advantage of introduction of the Competency Based Curriculum to associate substandard books with the new system of education. “Teachers should ensure the books they advise parents to buy for their children meet the quality threshold. It is not about the cover of a book but what is in the pages,” Dr Jwan said.Read all the TSC related news by clicking on the sponsored links below:
