Chapter one: Introduction
1.i) What do we mean by curricular development?
1.ii) The Kenya government policy on curricular
development
After
attaining political independence from Britain in
1963, the Kenya
government was faced with the challenge of formulation of official national
educational policy.Before independence, education was moulded within racial
lines. We had African education; European education; and Asian Education.This
seperation into racial groups was extended into social life and was not easy
for one group to penetrate into the boundaries of the other. Each race had its
own syllabus. The European, Africans and Asian schools each had their own
syllabus.
“Aracially
segregated system of education was developed during the colonial days on the basis of
beliefs generated
and
held by some white races, including the British who colonized Kenya, regarding
their own superiority in relation to dark races and their respective cultures
and assmmed educability” Kenya Education Report, 1964:xiii
