RE: REVISED CURRICULUM DESIGNS, PUPILS BOOKS AND TEACHERS GUIDE FOR GRADE 1, 2 AND 3 ENGLISH, KISWAHILI AND INDIGENOUS LANGUAGE ACTIVITIES

The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) in collaboration with the Ministry of Education (MoE) has completed the review of the English Language, Kiswahili Language, Indigenous Activities Grade 1, 2 and 3 based on the recommendations from the Report on the implementation of Languages in Grades 1, 2 and 3.

The Ministry of Education (MoE) approved the changes of name from Literacy Activities to Indigenous Language Activities.

Additionally, the MoE approved the review of the curriculum designs for English Language, Kiswahili Language and Indigenous Language Activities Grade 1, 2 and 3 in line with the revised time allocation as follows: English Language (5 lessons), Kiswahili Language (4 lessons) and Indigenous Language Activities (2 lessons).

The purpose of this letter is to inform you on the changes of name of literacy activities and lesson allocation for Grades 1,2 and 3 in English Language, Kiswahili Language and Indigenous Language Activities as well as time allocated to these learning areas.

All primary schools are therefore expected to start implementing the changes in term 1 that begins on 25th April 2022.

Ensure all the schools get this information on time.
