FOREWORD
The Government of Kenya is committed to ensuring that policy objectives for Education, Training and Research meet the
aspirations of the Kenya Constitution 2010, the Kenya Vision 2030, National Curriculum Policy 2019, the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Regional and Global conventions to which Kenya is a signatory. Towards
achieving the mission of Basic Education, the Ministry of Education (MoE) has successfully and progressively rolled out the
implementation of the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) at Pre-Primary and Primary School levels. The roll out of Junior
Secondary School (Grade 7-9) will subsequently follow as from 2023-2025.

The Grade 8 curriculum designs build on competencies attained by learners at the end of Grade 7. Further, they provide
opportunities for learners to continue exploring and nurturing their potentials as they prepare to transit to Senior Secondary
School.

The curriculum designs present National Goals of Education, essence statements, general and specific expected learning
outcomes for the learning areas (subjects) as well as strands and sub strands. The designs also outline suggested learning
experiences, key inquiry questions, core competencies, Pertinent and Contemporary Issues (PCIs), values, Community Service
Learning (CSL) activities and assessment rubric.

It is my hope that all Government agencies and other stakeholders in Education will use the designs to plan for effective and
efficient implementation of the CBC.

PREFACE
The Ministry of Education (MoE) is implementing the second phase of the curriculum reforms with the national roll out of the Competency
Based Curriculum (CBC) having been implemented in 2019. Grade 8 is the second level of the Junior Secondary School (JSS) in the new
education structure.

Grade 8 curriculum furthers implementation of the CBC from Grade 7. The main feature of this level is a broad curriculum for the learner to
explore talents, interests and abilities before selection of pathways and tracks at the Senior Secondary education level. This is very critical in
the realisation of the Vision and Mission of the on-going curriculum reforms as enshrined in the Sessional Paper No. I of 2019 whose title is:
Towards Realizing Quality, Relevant and Inclusive Education and Training for Sustainable Development in Kenya. The Sessional Paper
explains the shift from a Content - Focused Curriculum to a focus on Nurturing every Learner’s potential.

Therefore, the Grade 8 curriculum designs are intended to enhance the learners’ development in the CBC core competencies, namely:
Communication and Collaboration, Critical Thinking and Problem Solving, Creativity and Imagination, Citizenship, Digital Literacy,
Learning to Learn and Self-efficacy.

The curriculum designs provide suggestions for interactive and differentiated learning experiences linked to the various sub strands and the
other aspects of the CBC. The curriculum designs also offer several suggested learning resources and a variety of assessment techniques. It
is expected that the designs will guide teachers to effectively facilitate learners to attain the expected learning outcomes for Grade 8 and
prepare them for smooth transition to the next Grade. Furthermore, it is my hope that teachers will use the designs to make learning
interesting, exciting and enjoyable.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) Act Number 4 of 2013 (Revised 2019) mandates the Institute to develop curricula and
curriculum support materials for basic and tertiary education and training. The curriculum development process for any level of education involves
thorough research, international benchmarking and robust stakeholder engagement. Through a systematic and consultative process, the KICD
conceptualised the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) as captured in the Basic Education Curriculum Framework (BECF), that responds to the
demands of the 21st Century and the aspirations captured in the Kenya Constitution 2010, the Kenya Vision 2030, East African Community
Protocol and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

KICD receives its funding from the Government of Kenya to enable the successful achievement of the stipulated mandate and implementation of
the Government and Sector (Ministry of Education (MoE) plans. The Institute also receives support from development partners targeting specific
programmes. The Grade 8 curriculum designs have been developed with the support of the World Bank through the Kenya Secondary Education
Quality Improvement Program (SEQIP) commissioned by the MoE. Therefore, the Institute is very grateful for the support of the Government of
Kenya, through the MoE and the development partners for the policy, resource and logistical support. Specifically, special thanks to the Cabinet
Secretary – MoE and the Principal Secretary – State Department of Early Learning and Basic Education,

We also wish to acknowledge the KICD curriculum developers and other staff, all teachers, educators who took part as panelists; the Semi-
Autonomous Government Agencies (SAGAs) and representatives of various stakeholders for their roles in the development of the Grade 8
curriculum designs. In relation to this, we acknowledge the support of the –Chief Executive Officers of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC)
and the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) for their support in the process of developing these designs.

Finally, we are very grateful to the KICD Council Chairperson Prof. Elishiba Kimani and other members of the Council for very consistent
guidance in the process. We assure all teachers, parents and other stakeholders that these curriculum designs will effectively guide the
implementation of the CBC at Grade 8 and preparation of learners for Grade 9.

NATIONAL GOALS OF EDUCATION
Education in Kenya should:
i) Foster nationalism and patriotism and promote national unity.
Kenya’s people belong to different communities, races and religions, but these differences need not divide them. They must be
able to live and interact as Kenyans. It is a paramount duty of education to help young people acquire this sense of nationhood
by removing conflicts and promoting positive attitudes of mutual respect which enable them to live together in harmony and
foster patriotism in order to make a positive contribution to the life of the nation.

ii) Promote the social, economic, technological and industrial needs for national development.
Education should prepare the youth of the country to play an effective and productive role in the life of the nation.
a) Social Needs
Education in Kenya must prepare children for changes in attitudes and relationships which are necessary for the smooth
progress of a rapidly developing modern economy. There is bound to be a silent social revolution following in the wake of
rapid modernization. Education should assist our youth to adapt to this change.
b) Economic Needs
Education in Kenya should produce citizens with the skills, knowledge, expertise and personal qualities that are required
to support a growing economy. Kenya is building up a modern and independent economy which is in need of an adequate
and relevant domestic workforce.
c) Technological and Industrial Needs
Education in Kenya should provide learners with the necessary skills and attitudes for industrial development. Kenya
recognizes the rapid industrial and technological changes taking place, especially in the developed world. We can only be
part of this development if our education system is deliberately focused on the knowledge, skills and attitudes that will
prepare our young people for these changing global trends.

iii) Promote individual development and self-fulfilment


Education should provide opportunities for the fullest development of individual talents and personality. It should help
children to develop their potential interests and abilities. A vital aspect of individual development is the building of character.

Property of the Government of Kenya Page | vi Not for Sale


iv) Promote sound moral and religious values.
Education should provide for the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes that will enhance the acquisition of sound
moral values and help children to grow up into self-disciplined, self-reliant and integrated citizens.

v) Promote social equality and responsibility.


Education should promote social equality and foster a sense of social responsibility within an education system which
provides equal educational opportunities for all. It should give all children varied and challenging opportunities for collective
activities and corporate social service irrespective of gender, ability or geographical environment.

vi) Promote respect for and development of Kenya’s rich and varied cultures.
Education should instill in the youth of Kenya an understanding of past and present cultures and their valid place in
contemporary society. Children should be able to blend the best of traditional values with the changing requirements that must
follow rapid development in order to build a stable and modern society.

vii) Promote international consciousness and foster positive attitudes towards other nations.
Kenya is part of the international community. It is part of the complicated and interdependent network of peoples and nations.
Education should therefore lead the youth of the country to accept membership of this international community with all the
obligations and responsibilities, rights and benefits that this membership entails.

viii) Promote positive attitudes towards good health and environmental protection.
Education should inculcate in young people the value of good health in order for them to avoid indulging in activities that will
lead to physical or mental ill health. It should foster positive attitudes towards environmental development and conservation. It
should lead the youth of Kenya to appreciate the need for a healthy environment.

LEARNING OUTCOMES FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL
By end of Middle School, the learner should be able to:
1. Apply literacy, numeracy and logical thinking skills for appropriate self-expression.
2. Communicate effectively, verbally and non-verbally, in diverse contexts.
3. Demonstrate social skills, spiritual and moral values for peaceful co-existence.
4. Explore, manipulate, manage and conserve the environment effectively for learning and sustainable development.
5. Practise relevant hygiene, sanitation and nutrition skills to promote health.
6. Demonstrate ethical behaviour and exhibit good citizenship as a civic responsibility.
7. Appreciate the country's rich and diverse cultural heritage for harmonious co-existence.
8. Manage pertinent and contemporary issues in society effectively.
9. Apply digital literacy skills for communication and learning.

ESSENCE STATEMENT
We live in a world whereby we count, add, subtract, multiply or divide quantities and substances, deal with space, shape and
structures throughout our daily interactions. Mathematics involves understanding numbers and the numerical operations used to
develop strategies for mental mathematical problem solving skills, estimation and computational fluency. t is impossible to think
of a world without Mathematics. It is applied in economic, scientific, social, religious and political worlds. It is therefore
imperative that children are taught Mathematics from early years.

In Junior Secondary, Mathematics builds on the competencies acquired by the learner from Primary School. It enhances the
learner's competencies in mathematical skills as a foundation for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)
and other pathways at Senior School. Mathematics also prepares the learner to have sufficient skills and competencies for
application in solving problems in real-life situations. This is in line with Vision 2030 and Sessional Paper number 1 of 2019
which emphasises STEM areas.

COMMUNITY SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT
Introduction
In Grade 8, focus is on learners making preparations to undertake a CSL activity of their own choice. They will be required to
identify a community problem through research, plan and come up with solutions to solve the problem. The preparations will be
carried out in groups. Learners will build on CSL knowledge, skills and attitudes acquired from Life Skills Education as well as
other subjects.

CSL Skills to be Covered:


i) Leadership: Learners develop leadership skills as they undertake various roles during preparation.
ii) Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurship Skills: Learners will gain skills on wise spending, saving and investing for
sustained economic growth. They could consider ways of generating income as they undertake the CSL project through
innovation ways. Moreover, they could identify business ideas and opportunities as well as resources to meet the needs of
the community.
iii) Research: Learners will be expected to identify a problem or pertinent issue in the community and indicate how the
problem will be solved. They will also acquire skills on how to report their findings.
iv) Communication: Learners indicate reporting mechanisms to be used during the actual project e.g., how they intend to
communicate with members of the community, either online or offline.
v) Citizenship: As learners engage in the CSL activities for this Grade, they will be vested with the rights, privileges and
duties of a citizen, hence giving them a sense of belonging and attachment to the nation. They will also be empowered to
engage and assume active roles in shaping a more peaceful, tolerant and inclusive society.
vi) Life Skills Education: Learners will be equipped with life skills, including decision making, assertiveness, effective
communication, problem solving and stress management. This will enable them to manage interpersonal relationships,
develop leadership skills as well as discover and grow their talents.
vii) Community Development: Learners will be empowered with skills necessary to effect relevant change, including
building stronger and more resilient communities.

Core competencies to be developed
 Communication and collaboration: Learners will make the preparations in groups and conduct discussions on best ways of
carrying out the project.
 Self-efficacy: Learners develop the skills of self-awareness and leadership as they undertake the CSL project
 Creativity and imagination: Learners will come up with creative ways of solving the identified community problem
 Critical thinking and problem solving: Learners will demonstrate autonomy in identifying a community need, exploring
plausible solutions and making necessary preparations to address the problem.
 Digital literacy: Learners can use technology as they research on a community problem that they can address.
 Learning to learn: Learners gain new knowledge and skills as they identify a community problem to be addressed and make
preparations to carry out the project.
 Citizenship: This is enhanced as learners choose a PCI that needs immediate attention in the community.
Pertinent and Contemporary Issues (PCIs)
● Social cohesion as learners discuss possible solutions to the identified issue.
● Critical thinking as learners discuss possible solutions to the identified issue.
