SECTION A

GUIDELINES FOR TIMETABLING

1. Introduction

Developing an effective timetable and daily routine is essential for fostering a productive learning environment where both learners and educators can interact to achieve intended learning outcomes. A well-structured timetable not only ensures that all learning areas are covered comprehensively but also promotes implementation of balanced academic and co-curricular activities. These guidelines outline procedure for developing timetables that optimize utilisation of time, teaching and learning experiences, enhance student engagement, and support the achievement of overall educational goals in institutions of learning.

Timetabling process

  1. All schools shall establish a time tabling committee comprising of the following,
    1. Deputy Head of the institution – Chair person
    2. Senior teacher
    3. Teacher representatives from pre-primary, primary, and junior school level
    4. Heads of subject/each learning area
    5. Heads of departments
  2. The timetabling committee shall hold planning meetings at the beginning of every term to develop or review the school timetable.
  3. The timetable shall be presented to the head of institution for approval
  4. The approved timetable shall be displayed in all administrative offices, and notice
  5. Every teacher shall extract their respective timetable for use in implementing the

NOTES

1. Curriculum

The learning areas to be plotted on the timetable shall be derived from the KICD approved curriculum designs.

2. Daily routine

The basic education regulations 2015 provides reporting time for day schools not be earlier than 7.15 am . 8.00 am to 3.30 pm is class hours and 3.30 pm to 4.45 pm cocurricular activities.

For boarding schools time is 8.am to 3.30 pm is class hours. 3.30 to 4.45 pm cocurricular activities. 5.00 pm to 7.30 pm is elf directed activities. 7.30 pm to 9.30 pm preps. 9.30 pm to 6am is bed time. 6am to 8am supervised routine activities.

3. Health breaks

Each level has been allocated two health breaks in the morning session. The durations of the health breaks for the various levels are different since they are determined by the number of learning areas/subjects per day and the duration of a lesson. The learning institutions should therefore make appropriate arrangements on how to manage health breaks for the different levels.

4. Creative Activities, Creative Activities and Sports/Psychomotor/Movement Activities/Physical Education

These learning areas shall be plotted before a break to allow learners adequate time to prepare for the next lesson

5. Plotting of lessons on the time table

When plotting lessons on the timetable, the committee shall ensure that learning areas with similar skills, knowledge or concepts do not follow one another. This enhances the learner’s interest and reduces monotony in skill, concept and knowledge acquisition.

6. Exceptions

In areas that experience extreme temperatures, the time table start times and end time can be adjusted so long as the requisite contact hours for learners are maintained.

7. Pastoral programmes of instruction

The PPI lessons shall be handled by a responsible member of a recognized religious faith within the school community and which is legally registered in Kenya.

8. Parental Empowerment and Engagement

Learning institutions should create opportunities for information sharing and involvement of parents/guardians in the implementation of curriculum.

9. Non-formal activities

The timetable committee shall plot specified non-formal programmes after class activities as from 3.20 to 4.45 pm. This may include; games, clubs and societies, guidance and counselling and community service learning,

SECTION B

GUIDELINES FOR CURRICULUM BASED ESTABLISHMENT (CBE)

1.0 Introduction

Curriculum Based Establishment (CBE) is the number of teachers that a school needs for effective curriculum implementation. All schools including preprimary , primary, junior school and special needs school are required to have an approved CBE to ensure standards in curriculum delivery are adhered to.

2.0 Process

The following are the steps that preparation of a CBE takes:

  1. The school applies to Principal Secretary through the Sub County Director of Education (SCDE) for an approved CBE
  2. The Sub CountyQuality Assurance and Standards Officer (SQASO) verifies the learning areas/subjects taught and total number of lessons across all the streams in the school in order to determine the exact number of teachers required
  • TheSub County Quality Assurance and Standards Officer (SCQASO) computes the school CBE and attaches the registration certificate for confirmation of approved number of streams and enrolment.
  1. The SCDE forwards the school request to the PS for approval by the Head – Quality Assurance and Standards.
  2. Uponapproval it is dispatched to CEO Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for provision of teachers and copied to County Director of Education (CDE), SCDE and the Directorate responsible for the respective level and the school.

3.0 Considerations for development of Curriculum Based Establishment

Curriculum Based Establishment considers the following areas:

  1. Learningareas/ subjects that are offered in an institution
  2. Numberof lessons allocated for each learning area / subject
  • Sizeof the institutions, in terms of streams in each class
  1. Numberof administrative positions in an institution
  2. Minimum/maximum number of lessons allocated to each teacher
  3. Shortfallin lesson allocation based on the administrative posts available in an institution N/B- Institutions should regularly review CBE so as to ensure that it is relevant

4.0 Curriculum Based Establishment at various levels

The guidelines provide instructions for determining CBE for Age Based and Stage Based pathways

4.1 Age Based Pathway

  1. CurriculumBased Establishment for Pre-primary

The CBE for pre-primary schools is determined by the total number of classes. There will be one teacher per class. The recommended class size is 25 learners.

2. Curriculum Based Establishment for Primary

The CBE for primary schools is determined by the total number of classes plus one who is the Head of the Institution.

The school shall be staffed with a head teacher, Deputy Head teachers, Senior teachers and teachers depending on the number of streams, number of classes and enrolment as tabulated below. Where the school qualifies to have two deputy head teachers, they will be in charge of academics and administration respectively. The recommended class size is 45 learners.

Establishment of House Teachers (Senior Master) will be based on enrolment of boarders in the school where there shall be one house teacher for every 270 learners where applicable

The head teacher will have a workload of at least 15 lessons Table 1: Curriculum Based Establishment (CBE) for grade 1 – 6

9 54 2430 55 2 4
10 60 2700 61 2 5

 

3. Curriculum Based Establishment for grade 7, 8 and 9

The CBE for junior school shall be guided by the following:

  1. CBE shall be based on a minimum teaching load of 27 lessons per week for a teacher and maximum class size of 45 learners.
  2. Where there are two Deputy Principals in an institution, one shall be responsible forAcademics and the other  The principal will have a workload of at least 10 lessons and the deputy principals and Senior masters will have a work load of at least 20 lessons per week
  • Establishment of deputy principals and senior masters shall be based on school enrolmentas presented in table 3
  1. Establishment of House Teachers (Senior Master) shall be based on enrolment of boardersin the school where there shall be one house teacher for every 270 learners
  2. Calculation of CBE shall be based on the learning areas/subjects offered in the school and the number of streams.Calculation of CBE for a one streamed school shall be as follows:

Step 1. Determine Teachers required per learning/subject

  1. Thenumber of lessons per learning area/subject is calculated by adding the lessons taught at each grade for example, English Grade 7 =5, Grade 8=5, Grade 9 =5, Total 15 lessons
  2. Ateacher is required to have a workload of 27 lessons
  • To calculate the number of teachers required per learning area/subject, divide the total numberof lessons by 27, therefore teachers required to teach English from grade 7 to 9 will be15/27 = 0.555
  1. Stepiii shall be repeated for all learning areas
  2. Thetotal number of teachers required by the school shall be calculated by adding up the teachers required in all the learning areas
  3. Theabove steps are illustrated in table

Table 2. Lesson allocation per learning/subject area per week and teachers required

Subject/learning area Grade 7 Grade 8 Grade 9 Total Lessons Teachers Required
English 5 5 5 15 0.555
Kiswahili/Kenya Sign Language (KSL) 4 4 4 12 0.444
Mathematics 5 5 5 15 0.555
Religious Education 4 4 4 12 0.444
Social Studies (Including Life Skills) 4 4 4 12 0.444

Pre-Technical Studies 4 4 4 12 0.444
Agriculture 4 4 4 12 0.444
Creative Arts and Sports 5 5 5 15 0.555
PPI 1 1 1 3 0.111
GRAND TOTAL 41 4 1 41 123 4.551

 

Note: If the number of streams is more than one, multiply the number of lessons per learning area with the number of streams and divide by 27 to get the number of teachers required per learning area/Subject.

Step 2: Determining shortfalls in lesson allocation

Shortfalls in lesson allocation arise as a result of Principals, Deputy Principals and Senior Masters being allocated less than 27 lessons per week due to their administrative duties. The recommended lessons allocation is as follows:

  1. Principal- 10 lessons per week
  2. DeputyPrincipal – 20 lessons per week
  • SeniorMaster – 20 lessons per week

The shortfalls for a one streamed school are calculated as follows:

Principal (27  10) x 1 = 17 Lessons
Deputy Principal (27  20) x 1 = 7 Lessons
Senior Master (27 – 20) x 1 =  7 Lessons
Total shortfall 31 lessons

 

Therefore, teachers required for the shortfall are 31/27 = 1.148

Step 3: Determining the total CBE for a one streamed Junior School

C.B.E = Teachers required in Step 1 + Teachers Required in Step 2

= 4.551 + 1.148 = 5.699 = 6 Teachers

Note: If the answer has decimals, it should be rounded off to the next whole number.

Principals, Deputies and Senior Masters Establishment

If the School has more than one stream, the Principals, Deputies and Senior Masters establishment shall be as tabulated in table 3
