Biography

Audiphaxed Peter Omwaka was born to a single mother in Kitale, Trans Nzoia County. According to information gathered by ShopaXo, his mother conceived him while in school, and as a result, she received a rejection from her mother and the father of the child.

Having been sent away by her mother, Guardian Angel’s mother settled with a well-wisher until she brought forth the child. Guardian Angel was then raised by his grandparents who took him to school but had to send him away to his father later for fear of him asking for his inheritance.  

However, as the story goes, Guardian Angel did not have a chance to meet his father who not only rejected him in childhood but in his teenage years.

As fate would have it, after this rejection, Guardian Angel found himself in the streets living as a street boy, at a time his mother had lost her job and had nowhere to live. He survived on the streets by selling garbage, receiving donations from well-wishers, and receiving handouts.

It is on the streets that he was rescued and sent to Ahadi Children Home where he found accommodation and honed his music skills.

Music Career

As earlier said, it is at Ahadi Children Home that Guardian Angel began his music career. He developed as he entered high school in the year 2011. During the school talent shows, his star begun to rise. It is at the music and drama festivals that he cemented his music prowess by winning several awards.

This relationship has sparked varied mixed reactions online with many questioning the motive of Esther. However, Guardian has defended the relationship saying that Esther is not only a friend but also a fan of his music.

What is the role of parents in CBC in Kenya?

What is the role of parents in CBC in Kenya?

Kenya rolled out the competency-based curriculum, but what is the role of parents in CBC in Kenya?

Already the first CBC cohorts in Kenya are in grade 4 set to join in grade 5 on the 26th of July 2021. The CBC is a curriculum that deviates from the 8.4.4 system that has been blamed for being too exam-oriented and has often led to rote learning.

If you are reading this as a parent, then you are likely to have gone through the 8.4.4 system in which parents played very little role.

The Mackey report (1981), not only recommended the introduction of a second technological report but also recommended the 8.4.4 system with learners taking the KCPE (Kenya Certificate of Primary Education at Standard 8, replacing the CPE (Certificate of Primary Education).

To align the education system to the 2010 constitution, the Odhiambo report recommended the CBC system which focuses less on summative assessment, unlike the 8.4.4 system.

The Odhiambo report meant that for the first time, Kenya was making drastic changes to its curriculum.

Role of Parents in CBC in Kenya

Unlike the 8.4.4 system where parents had a limited role, in CBC, parents play a vital role in the education of their children.

Some of the roles of parents in CBC in Kenya are;

  1. Provide basic needs to their children. (Read about Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs to understand why.)
  2. Instill and nurture moral values.
  3. Teach and model proper use of resources.
  4. Protect the child from physical and emotional abuse.
  5. Teach and guide children to make right choices and make them aware of consequences.
  6. Help in enhancing learning achievements in the child as guided by the teacher.
  7. Engage the teacher to enrich the child’s learning experiences.
  8. Provide tender, loving care to boost your child’s emotional safety and a sense of belonging.
  9. Monitor your child’s growth and development and also identify any signs of disability for early intervention.
  10. Identify your child’s natural talents and abilities, and work with the teachers to nurture them.
  11. Discuss observed character, behavior and indiscipline issues regarding your child with teachers and take necessary action.
  12. Engage in peaceful and prompt resolution of conflicts that may arise.
  13. Get involved in planning, development and decision making process of school activities.
  14. Take part in school activities such as academic clinics, talents show.

It is evident that parents have a key role to play in the CBC curriculum in Kenya. So what is your role as a parent in CBC in Kenya?

Key Words Used

In Kenya, summative assessment is currently done at Class 8, Form 4, and at the university, at the end of every semester. 8.4.4 has been blamed on focus on summative assessment which has led to learners studying for examinations without developing the necessary competencies.  

Summative Assessment: Assessment that is used to evaluate students learning, skill acquisition, and academic achievement at the conclusion of a defined instructional period, usually at the end of a term, semester, or learning period.

There is also the Formative Assessment which is a continuous form of assessment with less focus on examinations. Formative Evaluations are evaluations FOR learning. Often it is used by both the teacher and the learners to gauge the level of understanding at a particular level.

Study Questions

  1. Differentiate by Giving example between Formative and Summative assessments.
  2. Discuss the role of parents in implementation of CBC curriculum in Kenya.

2022 World Cup Qualifiers resume on StarTimes

The European Qualifiers to FIFA World Cup 2022 will be taking center stage as major soccer leagues take a break during the international break as focus shifts to the quest to qualify for the FIFA World Cup set to take place in 2022.

Effective 1st September, pay television company StarTimes Media will be airing the European qualifies to the most prestigious soccer showpiece that is the FIFA World Cup.

Soccer fans can therefore look forward to an action-packed week as major national soccer teams including France, Croatia, Netherlands, Italy, England, Belgium among others take on formidable opponents as they seek to advance their chances for the prestigious showpiece expected to be staged in Qatar.

“As a broadcaster, we continue to make every effort aimed at bringing such major competitions to our subscribers at the comfort of their homes. Most notably, we have made a deliberate effort to maintain the cost of our monthly bouquets despite enhancing our content offer. We remain steadfast in ensuring our services are the most competitive pay television packages in the country,” said StarTimes Regional Marketing Director, Mr. Aldrine Nsubuga.

After a disappointing EURO 2020 campaign, France, Spain, and Portugal will have an opportunity to put that behind them as the European World Cup 2022 qualifiers continue. Stand-out fixtures in this round include France taking on Bosnia-Herzegovina, Russia vs Croatia, Portugal vs Ireland, Sweden vs Spain, Hungary vs England among other 30 fourth round fixtures to be aired live on StarTimes from 1st to 5th September.

Defending champions France tops Group D and will be looking to finish the group stage unbeaten. Les Bleus coach Didier Deschamps made several changes to his squad for the Group D clash, leaving out Olivier Giroud, but recalling Manchester United’s Anthony Martial. He also called up four uncapped players.

Three days after taking on the Bosnians in the Stade de la Meinau in Strasbourg Les Bleus face a difficult away game in Kiev against Ukraine.

The Ukrainians qualified top of their group ahead of Portugal for Euro 2020, but have only three points from their opening three games in the World Cup qualifiers, after drawing all matches 1-1, including disappointing home draws against Kazakhstan and Finland.

Portugal face the Republic of Ireland in Faro in Group A. Ireland were stunned 1-0 at home by Luxembourg in their last match and having lost both games they have played, Stephen Kenny’s side are in desperate need of three points.

For Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, Wednesday’s game and the match six days later against Azerbaijan will be another opportunity to break the all-time international scoring record.

Ronaldo, who is on the verge of re-joining Manchester United, currently stands on 109 goals, as does Iran’s Ali Daei.

In Group B, Sweden welcomes Spain in a top-of-the-table clash in Solna on Thursday. The Swedes are a point behind the Spaniards, but have a game in hand and will find themselves in a very strong position should they make it three wins out of three.

Euro finalists England top Group I with nine points from three matches and are two points ahead of Hungary, whom they face in Budapest on Thursday.

Three Lions coach Gareth Southgate has given a first call-up to Patrick Bamford, rewarding the striker for his impressive performances with Leeds in the Premier League last season.

England also face Andorra at Wembley Stadium on Sunday and Poland in Warsaw three days later.

The two unbeaten teams in Group C – Euro champions Italy and Switzerland – face each other in Basel on Sunday. Italy, who are also taking on Bulgaria and Lithuania during the international break, have won their three games, while Switzerland have won both their matches.

StarTimes will broadcast the European Qualifiers to FIFA World Cup 2022 live and in HD on its 5 sports channels World Football, Sports Premium, Sports Arena, Sports Life and Sports Focus as well as on StarTimes ON streaming application.
