CBE Transition Challenges and 'Ghost School' Fraud Uncovered in Kenya's Education System - February 2026

Parents in Kenya are increasingly questioning the Competency Based Curriculum (CBE), with some choosing to enroll their children in international curricula instead. The transition from Kenya's 8-4-4 education system to the CBE is facing significant challenges, which are primarily attributed to insufficient resources. This transition is affecting various aspects of the education sector across the country. In a separate matter, a recent school data audit in Kenya has uncovered widespread fraud involving "ghost learners" in "ghost schools". The shocking revelation suggests that thousands of non-existent students have been registered, potentially for illicit financial gain.
