Please stop insinuating that we are 'lazy parents' who want to be 'absent from the lives of the children'. I find that very insulting.
Most of the parents I know are very involved both in the education and other aspects of their kids lives.

The calls, messages, WhatsApp texts, emails & DMs I get - parents asking for book recommendations, activities that they can involve their children in, interests in writing and the arts that they are trying to nurture, complaining why @timeoutKE events are not regular enough 1/2
Yesterday I was at my son’s school for the Competence Based Curriculum induction because he’s in grade 3 & apparently, he will be sitting for national exams at the end of the year. My conclusion: CBC will work out for parents who have time & money.

The facilitator started by mentioning that parents were the KEY determinants of the success of the CBC because they have a greater role to play. In short, almost 60% of CBC will require parental involvement with teachers assuming a supervisory role.
According to the facilitator, the difference between 8-4-4 and CBC is that 8-4-4 is knowledge based and exam oriented whereas CBC focuses on knowledge, skills, value & attitude and it entails an everyday assessment.
