This independent status allows us to provide creative, practical resources while maintaining complete editorial freedom. However, it also means teachers must exercise additional diligence in verifying that our resources align with current official requirements.

📚 2. Educational Content Disclaimer

Note: While we strive for accuracy and relevance, educational content in Kenya evolves rapidly with curriculum reforms. The Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) is particularly dynamic. Always verify with current official sources before classroom implementation.

  • We strongly recommend cross-checking with official KICD publications, circulars, and training materials

The dynamic nature of educational reform in Kenya requires teachers to be proactive in staying updated through official channels.
