Why did KICD decide on CBC? In simple terms, they needed a system that encourages creativity, identify and nurture learner’s talents and interest early enough for sustainable development, and problem solving so that youths can and are able to take advantage of opportunities available to them. Not a system which is exam oriented, no self-reliance skills.
In CBC, there is maximum engagement of all the stake holders involved, that is leaners, parents, and teachers. Its objective was to prepare individuals/learners for the challenges of the future, empower them with knowledge and skills in various fields of study in a flexible education program tailored to each learner.
