The Ministry of Education, MoE, has released the final official list of Senior Schools approved to offer Core Mathematics, Biology & Power Mechanics for Grade 10 learners under the Curriculum-Based Education (CBE) Curriculum. Very very few schools have gotten the nod to offer this combination. This after thorough scrutiny of the schools; following a recent audit. Get the lists of all the C4 (SubCounty), C3 (County), C2 (Extra County), Private and C1 (National) Schools approved to offer this cluster.

The Core Mathematics, Biology & Power Mechanics subject combination is categorized under Pure Sciences track within the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) pathway, which forms part of the Senior School pathways.

Under the CBE framework, learners progress into one of three broad pathways—STEM, Social Sciences, or Arts & Sports Science—based on their strengths, talents, and future career interests. This is after sitting for their Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA).

Career Pathways for learners taking Core Mathematics, Biology & Power Mechanics

The STEM pathway is further organised into Pure Sciences, Applied Sciences, and Technical Studies, allowing learners to pursue specialised scientific and practical learning areas.

The Pure Sciences track cluster that forms part of the broader Senior School pathwayis designed for learners interested in  several Science-Oriented Career Pathways. The Core Mathematics, Biology & Power Mechanics cluster prepares leaners for any of the following Career Pathways:

• • Research Scientist
• • Biologist
• • Chemist
• • Physicist
• • Astronomer
• • Mathematician
