After a serious back and forth over the Position, Joel Mabonga has been appointed as an acting director at the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) succeeding Mr Julius Jwan.

Dr Mabonga succeeds Julius Jwan, who was on Friday sworn in as Technical and Vocational Education Principal Secretary.

In a statement to staff, KICD council chairperson Sara Ruto announced the appointment of Dr Mabonga effective from February 29.

“Please accord him the necessary support,” said Dr Ruto.

Dr Mabonga has a heavy task of implementing the new curriculum which enters Grade 5 next year in January.

While being approved by Parliament, MPs praised Dr Jwan for his leadership in curriculum reforms in the country.
