Competency Based Education
SECTION A
GUIDELINES FOR TIMETABLING
1. Introduction
Developing an effective timetable and daily routine is essential for fostering a productive learning
environment where both learners and educators can interact to achieve intended learning outcomes.
A well-structured timetable not only ensures that all learning areas are covered comprehensively
but also promotes implementation of balanced academic and co-curricular activities. These
guidelines outline procedure for developing timetables that optimize utilisation of time, teaching
and learning experiences, enhance student engagement, and support the achievement of overall
educational goals in institutions of learning.

NOTES
1. Curriculum
The learning areas to be plotted on the timetable shall be derived from the KICD approved
curriculum designs.

2. Daily routine
The basic education regulations 2015 provides reporting time for day schools not be earlier
than 7.15 am . 8.00 am to 3.30 pm is class hours and 3.30 pm to 4.45 pm cocurricular
activities.
For boarding schools time is 8.am to 3.30 pm is class hours. 3.30 to 4.45 pm cocurricular
activities. 5.00 pm to 7.30 pm is elf directed activities. 7.30 pm to 9.30 pm preps. 9.30 pm to
6am is bed time. 6am to 8am supervised routine activities.

3. Health breaks
Each level has been allocated two health breaks in the morning session. The durations of the
health breaks for the various levels are different since they are determined by the number of
learning areas/subjects per day and the duration of a lesson. The learning institutions should
therefore make appropriate arrangements on how to manage health breaks for the different
levels.

4. Creative Activities, Creative Activities and Sports/Psychomotor/Movement

Activities/Physical Education
These learning areas shall be plotted before a break to allow learners adequate time to
prepare for the next lesson

5. Plotting of lessons on the time table

When plotting lessons on the timetable, the committee shall ensure that learning areas with
similar skills, knowledge or concepts do not follow one another. This enhances the learner’s
interest and reduces monotony in skill, concept and knowledge acquisition.

6. Exceptions
In areas that experience extreme temperatures, the time table start times and end time can be
adjusted so long as the requisite contact hours for learners are maintained.

7. Pastoral programmes of instruction

The PPI lessons shall be handled by a responsible member of a recognized religious faith within
the school community and which is legally registered in Kenya.

9
8. Parental Empowerment and Engagement
Learning institutions should create opportunities for information sharing and involvement of
parents/guardians in the implementation of curriculum.

9. Non-formal activities
The timetable committee shall plot specified non-formal programmes after class activities as
from 3.20 to 4.45 pm. This may include; games, clubs and societies, guidance and counselling
and community service learning,

SECTION B
GUIDELINES FOR CURRICULUM BASED ESTABLISHMENT (CBE)
1.0 Introduction
Curriculum Based Establishment (CBE) is the number of teachers that a school needs for effective
curriculum implementation. All schools including preprimary , primary, junior school and special
needs school are required to have an approved CBE to ensure standards in curriculum delivery are
adhered to.

2.0 Process
The following are the steps that preparation of a CBE takes:

I. The school applies to Principal Secretary through the Sub County Director of Education
(SCDE) for an approved CBE

II. The Sub County Quality Assurance and Standards Officer (SQASO) verifies the learning
areas/subjects taught and total number of lessons across all the streams in the school in
order to determine the exact number of teachers required

III. The Sub County Quality Assurance and Standards Officer (SCQASO) computes the school
CBE and attaches the registration certificate for confirmation of approved number of
streams and enrolment.

IV. The SCDE forwards the school request to the PS for approval by the Head – Quality
Assurance and Standards.

V. Upon approval it is dispatched to CEO Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for provision
of teachers and copied to County Director of Education (CDE), SCDE and the Directorate
responsible for the respective level and the school.

3.0 Considerations for development of Curriculum Based Establishment

Curriculum Based Establishment considers the following areas:
I. Learning areas/ subjects that are offered in an institution
II. Number of lessons allocated for each learning area / subject
III. Size of the institutions, in terms of streams in each class
IV. Number of administrative positions in an institution
V. Minimum /maximum number of lessons allocated to each teacher
VI. Shortfall in lesson allocation based on the administrative posts available in an institution
N/B- Institutions should regularly review CBE so as to ensure that it is relevant

11
4.0 Curriculum Based Establishment at various levels
The guidelines provide instructions for determining CBE for Age Based and Stage Based
pathways

4.1 Age Based Pathway

1. Curriculum Based Establishment for Pre-primary
The CBE for pre-primary schools is determined by the total number of classes. There will be one
teacher per class. The recommended class size is 25 learners.

2. Curriculum Based Establishment for Primary

The CBE for primary schools is determined by the total number of classes plus one who is the
Head of the Institution.

The school shall be staffed with a head teacher, Deputy Head teachers, Senior teachers and teachers
depending on the number of streams, number of classes and enrolment as tabulated below. Where
the school qualifies to have two deputy head teachers, they will be in charge of academics and
administration respectively. The recommended class size is 45 learners.

Establishment of House Teachers (Senior Master) will be based on enrolment of boarders in the
school where there shall be one house teacher for every 270 learners where applicable
The head teacher will have a workload of at least 15 lessons

10 60 2700 61 2 5

12
 3. Curriculum Based Establishment for grade 7, 8 and 9
The CBE for junior school shall be guided by the following:
I. CBE shall be based on a minimum teaching load of 27 lessons per week for a
teacher and maximum class size of 45 learners.

II. Where there are two Deputy Principals in an institution, one shall be responsible
for Academics and the other Administration. The principal will have a workload of
at least 10 lessons and the deputy principals and Senior masters will have a work
load of at least 20 lessons per week

III. Establishment of deputy principals and senior masters shall be based on school
enrolment as presented in table 3

IV. Establishment of House Teachers (Senior Master) shall be based on enrolment of

boarders in the school where there shall be one house teacher for every 270 learners

V. Calculation of CBE shall be based on the learning areas/subjects offered in the

school and the number of streams. Calculation of CBE for a one streamed school
shall be as follows:

Step 1. Determine Teachers required per learning/subject

i. The number of lessons per learning area/subject is calculated by adding the lessons taught
at each grade for example, English Grade 7 =5, Grade 8=5, Grade 9 =5, Total 15 lessons
ii. A teacher is required to have a workload of 27 lessons

iii. To calculate the number of teachers required per learning area/subject, divide the total
number of lessons by 27, therefore teachers required to teach English from grade 7 to 9
will be15/27 = 0.555
iv. Step iii shall be repeated for all learning areas

v. The total number of teachers required by the school shall be calculated by adding up the
teachers required in all the learning areas
vi. The above steps are illustrated in table 2.

GRAND TOTAL 41 41 41 123 4.551

Note: If the number of streams is more than one, multiply the number of lessons per learning
area with the number of streams and divide by 27 to get the number of teachers required per
learning area/Subject.
Step 2: Determining shortfalls in lesson allocation
Shortfalls in lesson allocation arise as a result of Principals, Deputy Principals and Senior
Masters being allocated less than 27 lessons per week due to their administrative duties. The
recommended lessons allocation is as follows:
i. Principal - 10 lessons per week
ii. Deputy Principal - 20 lessons per week
iii. Senior Master - 20 lessons per week
The shortfalls for a one streamed school are calculated as follows:
Principal (27 - 10) x 1 = 17 Lessons
Deputy Principal (27 - 20) x 1 = 7 Lessons
Senior Master (27 - 20) x 1 = 7 Lessons
Total shortfall = 31 lessons

14
 Therefore, teachers required for the shortfall are 31/27 = 1.148

Step 3: Determining the total CBE for a one streamed Junior School

C.B.E = Teachers required in Step 1 + Teachers Required in Step 2

= 4.551 + 1.148 = 5.699 = 6 Teachers
Note: If the answer has decimals, it should be rounded off to the next whole number.

Principals, Deputies and Senior Masters Establishment

If the School has more than one stream, the Principals, Deputies and Senior Masters
establishment shall be as tabulated in table 3
