Influence of school dynamics on the implementation of competency-based curriculum in public primary schools in Nandi east sub county, Nandi county, Kenya

The quality of education given to students, which gives them a global perspective and promotes advancements in technology, health, agriculture, environmental protection, and government, is crucial to the development of a country's delicate educational system. Since Kenya's 2018 approval of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), the government has worked hard to accelerate its implementation and improve the country's educational system. However, Nandi East in Nandi County is not exempt from the CBC's implementation. Finding the factors affecting the CBC implementation in Nandi East Sub County, Nandi County, is the aim of this study. The study's goals are to ascertain whether instructional strategies are relevant for implementing CBC in public primary schools, assess the effect of sufficient learning resources on CBC, ascertain the extent to which teacher preparation influences CBC, and look into the relationship between CBC and school infrastructure in public primary schools.. The study was founded on constructivist theory and visible learning, and it employed a descriptive correlational methodology. The study was carried out in the Nandi East Sub County, which is currently facing significant problems with the distribution of responsibilities among curriculum competency overseers for public elementary schools. Of the 5,170 learners in the target population, 491 students made up the sample size for this study. Stratified and essential random sampling were used in the study to divide the population. Focus groups and questionnaires with both closed-ended and open-ended questions are among the data collection tools used in this study. The data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive data analysis techniques included grouping data into tables and characterizing the dataset using means and standard deviations. The SPSS-26 software for inferential analysis was used to do a multiple regression analysis. The data under study was displayed in tables, pie charts, and graphs.
