In the once bustling Kaliluni Primary School, southern Kenya, cows now graze where children used to learn. Once hosting over 200 pupils, the school now has just five, with enrollment numbers plummeting across more than 2,000 rural schools in Kenya. The cause? A shift in Kenya's education system introduced in 2017, known as Competency-Based Education (CBE), which requires primary schools to accommodate intermediary grades and offer more practical subjects. However, the sudden demand for additional resources has left many under-resourced schools struggling to adapt, forcing families to seek better opportunities elsewhere, often migrating their children to more equipped schools further away. As a result, rural schools like Kaliluni face possible closure, threatening education access for low-income communities and exacerbating urbanization trends in the country. The situation has left parents, teachers, and students frustrated, with some questioning whether the new curriculum is benefiting or harming the very communities it aims to assist.
