Collaborating with System Actors to Pilot Values-Based Education in Kenya
Zizi Afrique Foundation, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, KICD, TSC, and KNEC, has strengthened the education system’s capacity to implement Values-Based Education (VbE) across the country. Through this multi-stakeholder effort, VbE training materials were finalized and are being piloted in 80 schools across 19 counties in Kenya. This marks a key milestone in equipping teachers and schools to nurture values and character alongside academic learning. Teachers reached by this initiative so far have reported improved capacity to support the Competency- Based Curriculum/ Education (CBC/E) at home, demonstrating strong uptake and relevance of KICD-developed materials. Feedback collected from stakeholders shows the 9-step guide is widely valued and inspired by a demand for similar parent-facing resources

During the quarter, the Ministry of Education’s Directorates of Quality Assurance and National Cohesion and Values used the framework to shape parent-focused strategies for national campaigns. KICD, in collaboration with Zizi Afrique Foundation, also applied the framework to develop capacity-building resources supporting the Whole School Approach in 19 counties
