Nine companies including government agency Kenya Literature Bureau (KLB) have won tender to supply textbooks to Grade 5 pupils under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC)
The firms will publish 12 textbooks that the government will supply to schools starting September when schools reopen and in preparation for roll-out of the new curriculum to Grade Five.
The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) released results for the tenders at the weekend and told publishers to produce quality learning materials.
For the next few days, the KICD, education experts and publishers will converge to polish the approved books before printing.
KLB will supply Islamic Religious Education (IRE) and Kiswahili books; Moran Publishers will print English books while Mountain Top will deliver Home Science and Agriculture books.
