Nyeri Catholic Archbishop Anthony Muheria has raised serious concerns over growing confusion in the Competency-Based Education (CBE) system and errors seen in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) process.

He warned that the ongoing chaos and omissions are denying learners the fairness they deserve and risking their future.

Speaking on the state of education, Archbishop Muheria said learners should never be punished for mistakes made by systems and institutions meant to protect them.

He noted that frequent changes in education policies, unclear guidelines, and poor communication have left students, teachers, and parents confused and frustrated.

The Archbishop pointed out that the transition to CBE has been rushed without proper preparation.

He said many schools lack enough learning materials, trained teachers, and clear assessment methods.

As a result, learners from different regions are not receiving equal support, which goes against the principle of fairness in education.

Turning to KCSE, Muheria expressed concern over cases where candidates’ results were delayed, missing, or affected by administrative errors.

He said such omissions cause emotional stress to learners who have worked hard for years, only to face uncertainty after exams.

According to him, no student should be left anxious or disadvantaged because of mistakes beyond their control.

He emphasized that national examinations play a major role in shaping a learner’s future.

When errors occur, he said, they can affect access to further education, scholarships, and career opportunities.

Muheria warned that repeated failures in managing exams could slowly destroy public trust in the education system.

The Archbishop also urged education authorities to listen more to teachers and school heads.

He said those working directly with learners understand the real challenges on the ground and should be involved in decision-making.

Ignoring their voices, he added, leads to policies that look good on paper but fail in practice.

Muheria called on the government to slow down, review the CBE rollout, and fix existing gaps before moving forward.

He said reforms should focus on the best interest of the child, not political pressure or deadlines.

Education, he stressed, is a lifelong foundation and should be handled with care, honesty, and responsibility.
