Stakeholders’ Preparedness of School Teaching and Learning Conditions to Facilitate Transition from 8 4 4 to Competency Based Curriculum in Bungoma, Kenya

Change and transition processes are complex. As a result, the implementers tend to be reluctant in executing them. Education in Kenya has evolved with time in an effort to meet the needs of the changing times to attain quality standards. However, policy changes in the education sector have been both a success as well as have experienced failures in their implementation. Kenya's education system is currently transitioning from 8 4 4 to the Competency Based Curriculum CBC which is in its implementation stage following a one year pilot. This study sought to investigate the Stakeholders' preparedness of school teaching and learning conditions to facilitate transition from 8 4 4 to Competency Based Curriculum in Bungoma, Kenya. The study was anchored on Kotters eight step model theory that defines the manner of handling change in an organization and used descriptive research design due to its appropriateness in identifying characteristics, frequencies, trends, correlations and categories of the variables under study. The population under study was divided into separate clusters from which a probability sample was drawn. The target population of 3,159 was used and samples were drawn from the target population with the use of systematic random sampling and purposive sampling techniques. Further, data was collected by use of questionnaires, interview guides and document analysis guide.
