Who Are We?
The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) is at the forefront of transforming education by developing quality curriculum and curriculum support materials in Kenya. As part of our core mandate to provide relevant, accessible, and equitable education for all, we have
launched the Open Education Resource (OER) platform—a cutting-edge initiative designed to enhance learning through free, openly licensed digital educational resources.
Our Mandate
As stipulated in the KICD Act No. 4 of 2013, our mandate includes the development, review, and dissemination of curriculum and curriculum support materials for all levels of education. This OER platform directly supports our role by:
- Ensuring that educational content is available to all learners in an open, accessible format
- Promoting the use of innovative technologies in curriculum delivery.
- Supporting teachers with resources to guide effective implementation of the Competency
Based Curriculum (CBC).
A partnership for education
This OER platform has been developed with the invaluable support of the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA). This partnership is key in ensuring broad access to quality educational materials.
why open education resources?
