By JAMES MUGENDILast week, Education Cabinet secretary Dr Fred Matiang’i directed the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) to revert to the one book per subject policy. He said there was a cartel working with KICD to recommend up to six books for schools and parents to buy. This is a policy that has been in place since the change in curriculum in 2002. Dr Jwan was quick to state that KICD would revise the policy as per the directive of the CS. Going the one textbook policy way has too many negative consequences.
