i. Message by the Cabinet Secretary for Education Prof George Magoha, MBS, EBS,
FKNAS The revolutionary forces currently impacting on Kenyan
education represent huge difficulties and challenges for all involved
in educational, training, quality assurance and certification. These
forces include globalization, advances in information technology,
change in curricular, and the growing need to align training with the
labor market. These are leading to rapid adjustments in our national
and regional education systems.
These changes fundamentally challenge our notions as to how, what,
whom and where we teach, as well as how we assess, examine and award qualifications in the country. It is the
realization of this reality that necessitated the formation of the KNQA whose main role is to develop and
implement a harmonized and coordinated qualifications framework for the country. In line with this
requirement, the authority has developed and is implementing the Kenya national Qualifications Framework
(KNQF), and several policies and standards in the area of Recognition, equation and verification of qualifications,
a draft credit accumulation and transfer system for the country, assessment and examination of qualifications, a
guide on curriculum development for national qualifications and standards and guidelines on quality assurance
for national qualifications. Those who fail to confront and adapt to these questions face a difficult future.
To ensure that learners get skills that meet market and international needs, the country has embarked on the route
to adopt and use competence-based education and training. Already, the competency-based education has been
rolled out in basic education and it is timely that the same be introduced in TVE training. I am therefore happy
that through a collaborative effort between the Ministry of education, the state department for Vocation and
Technical Training and semi-autonomous agencies (KNQA, TVETA and TVET CDACC), we are have convened this
CBET conference. The conference will take stock of experiences in the use CBET in the TVET sector, both in the
country, region and globally and design the way forward. I want to thank all the presenters and exhibitors at this
experience who have come to share their valuable experience to ensure Kenya’s TVET education meet national
and internationals standards.

ii. Message by Dr. Kevit Desai, PhD, CBS, PS Vocational and Technical Training I am happy that the KNQA, TVETA and TVET CDACC have joined hands to co-
host this important conference. The TVET sector is major driver for the Big 4
agenda; and working towards competence-based education and training in this
sector will substantially improve learning outcomes for learners and ensure that
graduates are able to do what they have been taught. Approaches to
qualifications and credit frameworks and practice in the Kenya have remained on
the whole fragmented, informal and undocumented.
Although in practice the country has been emphasizing the use of competence-
based education and training since the 1960s, its implementation has fallen below expectations because a number
of challenges. These include, lack of CBET curricular, poor linkages between training and industry, lack of
training infrastructure and lecturers as well as the high cost of CBET training. Since 2013, there have been
fundamental policy shifts in education that has brough about establishment of a number of institutions to support
TVET training. These include TVETA (for accreditation and quality assurance), KNQA for developing national
training standards and harmonizing our education and TVET CDACC for curriculum development, assessment
and certification.
The sector has also seen great improvements in funding. Because, of this student numbers have been growing
rapidly in the sector, and the Government has responded by hiring 5000 new lecturers. These developments, have
placed TVET at the center of the country’s development and this conference could not have come at a better time.
The conference will help the country to take stock of the achievement and challenges between experienced in the
roll out of CBET and come up with way forward.
Several successes have been realized since 2013 and it would be nice that we can stop and take stock of what has
worked, how it worked and the challenges that we are facing. This will help the country put in place a favorable
institutional framework for supporting vocational training and education
In Kenya, both legal frameworks and re-orientation of technical vocational training institutions towards a
competence-based approach taken shape and the country is on its way to becoming a pacesetter in this area. The
country has developed more than 500 Competence Based Curricula on selected subjects that have been rolled out.
To complement Government efforts in capacity building in the sector, at diploma and degree levels, Universities, private institutions an even NGOs have now taken up CBET training and are promoting it. Tis will go a long way in ensuring that the country develops appropriate skills to take it to the next level.

iii. Message by Dr. Eusebius J. Mukhwana, PhD, HSC, CEO KNQA Sessional Paper No. 1 of 2005 on policy framework on Education, Training and
Research (MoE, 2005) highlighted the need to Kenyan qualifications in the TVET
sector to market and international needs. Multiplicity of qualifications and awarding
bodies made it difficult for employers to understand competences expected of holders
of various qualifications. There was need to establish a common regulatory system for
the recognition of attainment of knowledge, skills, competences, values and attitude. In
this regard, the Kenya National Qualifications Framework Act No. 22 of 2014 was
enacted which led to the establishment of the Kenya National Qualifications Authority (KNQA) to develop and
implement the Kenya National Qualifications Framework (KNQF); as a system of accreditation, Quality assurance,
assessment and examination of national qualifications.
The KNQF has created 10-levels of qualifications; which are in tandem with the qualifications created by the East
African Community (EAC) qualifications framework (EAQF). Internationally countries are adopting the
International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED, 2011) proposed by UNESCO which creates 8 levels of
qualifications. Globally, Qualification Frameworks seek to facilitate improved mobility of learners and workers
across regions. The KNQA has developed and is currently promoting the use of the Kenya National Qualifications
Classification Standard (KNQCS).
Sub-frameworks developed within the KNQF have the basis of academic and vocational training which are meant
to realize theoretical knowledge, competences, and skills and provide for progression within the framework as
shown in figure 1 below. The work of the Kenya National Qualifications framework cuts across the basic, TVET
and university levels and seeks to create better harmony and/or integration/coordination within the education
and qualifications awarding system of the country.
The KNQF needs to be understood in the context of the reforms to Kenya’s education and training policy, which
occurred in 2005 and 2012. The objectives of the KNQF are set out in the KNQF Act No. 22 of 2014. They are to:
(i) establish the Kenyan National Qualifications Authority; (ii) establish standards for recognizing qualifications
obtained in and outside of Kenya; (iii) develop a system of competence, lifelong learning and attainment of
national qualifications; (iv) align the qualifications obtained in Kenya with the global benchmarks in order to
promote national and transnational mobility of workers; (v) strengthen the national accreditation, quality
assurance, assessment and examination systems for national qualifications; and (vi) facilitate mobility and
progression within education, training and career paths.
The KNQF is a learning outcome-based qualifications framework, comprising of all educational and training
sectors and all forms of learning; formal, non-formal and informal learning (http://www.knqa.go.ke/about-the-
qualification-framework/). The KNQF covers all forms, levels and categories of educational and training provided
by the public and private sectors in Kenya. It is guided by the principle of inclusiveness, targeting all areas of
general education, vocational training, higher education, lifelong and out of school or non-formal education,
other forms of learning such as open and distance, and e-learning (Scope as per KNQF Handbook 2018).
The qualifications recognized in the KNQF are classified into the following groups:
6 | P a g e
Schools sector, (b) vocational and technical sector, (c) University education sector, (d) Professions;
The levels of qualifications (e.g., certificate and diploma) are differentiated based on the breadth, depth
and complexity of knowledge and skills that are included in various qualifications;
All qualifications in the KNQF have a purpose and are interrelated to each other, providing for articulation
from one qualification to the other by recognition of prior learning.
Diagrammatically the KNQF foresees the education and training pathways (figure 1).
The KNQF has been designed to build
flexibility into a framework that would
otherwise remain too rigid and crude to
accommodate the vast variety of
programmes and qualifications offered
across the higher education and technical
bands. The purpose of horizontal and
diagonal articulation is to facilitate learner
mobility and progression along the
framework as efficiently as possible. It can
also be used to admit into the system those
learners who do not meet the full entry
requirements for their target programmes. It
is likely to be the ‘space’ in the system where
the recognition of prior learning (RPL) can most easily be implemented (KNQF Handbook 2018).
This conference serves to create awareness about the KNQF and the role that the framework is playing to ensure
that the country produces quality qualifications to meet changing mart and international needs. Already the
country is a leader in the region is educational reforms and in supplying human resources to neighboring
countries. USE of CBET will help improve the competitiveness of Kenyan in the regional and international market,
thereby contributing to the country’s foreign exchange earnings and economic growth.

1.0 ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The Competency Based Education and Training (CBET) Conference in TVET Sector is the first
all-inclusive Conference in the TVET sector in Kenya bringing together wide range of TVET
stakeholders and decision- makers from across the Country and Beyond. The Conference is
organized by the Ministry of Education through State Department for Vocational and Technical
Training in conjunction with its state Agencies. The Conference aims at taking stock of the
implementation process, progress and challenges of CBET in the TVET sector in Kenya
2.0 BACKGROUND OF COMPETENCY BASED EDUCATION AND TRAINING
(CBET) IN KENYA
The Government of Kenya views a strong Technical and Vocational Education and Training
(TVET) system as an enabler to the Big 4 Agenda, Vision 2030 and the realization of the
Sustainable Development Goals. The world of work is currently experiencing very rapid and
drastic changes due to changes in technology. The drastic changes in technology and innovation
have created the need to prepare both workers and trainees for dual and life-long learning. In
addition to technical skills, trainees also need to learn and develop transversal and sustainable
development skills that include employability, adaptability, entrepreneurial, learning to learn,
environmental protection and soft skills to prepare them for future jobs and enable them to cope
with technological changes.
While Kenya is experiencing increasing unemployment among the youth, the present TVET
system is so fragmented resulting in ill - prepared graduates that are unable to respond to
employers’ expectations. Many individuals in Kenya develop skills through the traditional
apprenticeship programmes. Currently, such programmes do not lead to certification and hence
no formal recognition of the competences of the apprentice. This will be resolved through the
Competency Based Education and Training (CBET) approach, which is not only outcome based,
industry centered and flexible, but also embraces the concept of Prior Learning Assessment and
Recognition (PLAR). CBET is a mode of training where the emphasis is placed on the acquisition
of competence.
Kenya has legislated and established policies and initiatives to address the issues of
unemployment among the youth and the quality of training in the country. The Sessional Paper
No. 1 of 2019 on Reforming Education and Training for Sustainable Development in Kenya
proposes a raft of reforms in the TVET Sector.
The enactment of TVET Act No. 29 of 2013 established Technical and Vocational Education and
Training Authority (TVETA) under section 7 to coordinate and regulate the TVET sector; TVET
Curriculum Development, Assessment and Certification Council (CDACC) under section 44 to
undertake the design and development of TVET curricula, assessment and competence
certification; and TVET Funding Board under section 47 to provide funds for financing TVET
institutions.
The Kenya National Qualifications Authority (KNQA) is established under section 6 of Kenya
National Qualifications Framework Act No. 22 of 2014 to co-ordinate and supervise the
development of policies on national qualifications. Also, the section 26 (2) of TVET Act of 2013
establishes National Polytechnics with respective legal orders allowing them to develop their own
8 | P a g e
training programmes and award qualifications. A number of TVET institutions in line ministries
have legal mandates develop curricula, train and award qualifications. Similarly, universities
established under section 25 of Universities Act 2012 develop their own programmes, train and
award qualifications.
In 2018, the Ministry of Education launched CBET Policy Framework to guide on the
implementation of CBET programmes. However, Sessional Paper No. 1 of 2019 identifies several
challenges among them, quality assurance, curriculum design and delivery, harmonization and
coordination leading to a mismatch between skills produced and industry needs.
In order to address the skills mismatch, the ministry of education has instituted reforms to
address the mismatch. These include but not limited to the training standards and guidelines,
CBET curricula and TVET subsector qualification framework. In addition, the reforms in
education and training have gone a long way in addressing the requirements of East African
Common Market Protocol article 5 and 102 on harmonization of TVET curricula and
standardization of training, African Union TVET strategy to support the goals of the African
Union Agenda 2063 and achieving both the 4th SDG, on quality education, and the 8th, on good
jobs and economic growth.
Successful implementation of CBET requires enactment of national policies, strategies, standards
and guidelines to support and facilitate the process. It is not lost that effective and efficient
implementation of CBET will offer seamless transition of CBC graduates from basic education to
TVET.
The purpose of this workshop is to ignite national dialogue on the implementation of CBET in the
TVET sector; and to help finalize development of the CBET policy and strategy.
