Abstract

This paper has aimed at analyzing the merits and demerits of the competency-based curriculum in relation to learner friendliness in Kenya. The accounts presented were based on the experiences of educators, learners and parents who provided accurate and reliable information on the impact of CBC to the learners. The merits include development of technical skills, improved assessment, digital literacy and collaboration skills among others whereas the demerits include numerous academic expenses, exploitation of parents and learners, inadequate learning facilities among others. Matters arising in the contemporary society have also been discussed in detail.
