The difference is that their is a change of emphasis from the tradition of chalk-and-talk teaching, to

focusing on the student, by learning in groups and not just memorizing facts, but developing
competencies, and understanding core values and important issues.

The second difference is that school is being restructured from 8-4-4 to 2-6-3-3-3. All students take 2
years of Pre-primary, then 6 years of Primary, and then 3 years of Junior School. If you pass the Grade 9
exams at 15 at the end of Junior School, you can then go on to take 3 years of Senior School. University
under CBC will be just 3 years instead of 4.

In the new system, students will only seat for Continuous Assessment Tests (CATs) on the skills acquired,
as opposed to the current system that burdens with end year exams after a long period.
