KICD, through the ministry of Education and in collaboration with the Kenya Publishers Association, has approved a list of course books to be used in Grade 4 in the new CBC education system. Learners in public schools will get these approved learning materials free of charge since the government has purchased textbooks for all learning areas and will deliver them to all public schools in Kenya.
Schools, parents and members of the public are cautioned that the use of non-approved KICD curriculum support materials in schools is in contravention of Section 27 of the KICD Act of 2013.
Take note that Government supplied books have the following security features: the Coat of Arms and ‘Not for sale’ caveat on all printed pages to ensure integrity and retention of the books in schools.
