 FOREWORD

Provision of quality education and training is fundamental to the Government’s overall strategy for
socio-economic development. Quality education and training contribute to achievement focused on
Kenya’s development blueprint and sustainable development goals.

Reforms in the education and training sector are necessary for achievement of Kenya Vision 2030 and
meeting the provisions the Constitution of Kenya. The education sector had to be aligned to the
Constitution and this resulted in formulation of the Policy Framework for Reforming Education and
Training (Sessional Paper No. 1 of 2019). A key feature of this policy is the change in the design and
delivery of TVET training. The reforms include making TVET competency-based, developing the
curriculum in collaboration with industry, certifying learners based on demonstrated competence, and
allowing multiple entry and exit points in TVET programmes.

These reforms emphasize the role of industry as key collaborators in curriculum development to ensure
it aligns with their competence needs. It is against this background that this Curriculum has been
developed.

It is my conviction that this curriculum will play a great role towards development of competent human
resource for the fashion sector’s growth and sustainable development.

 PREFACE

Kenya Vision 2030 aims to transform the country into a newly industrializing, middle-income country
providing high quality life to all its citizens by the year 2030. Kenya intends to create a globally
competitive and adaptive human resource base to meet requirements of a rapidly industrializing
economy through life-long education and training. TVET has a responsibility of facilitating the process
of inculcating knowledge, skills and worker behaviour necessary for catapulting the nation to a globally
competitive country, hence the paradigm shift to embrace Competency Based Education and Training
(CBET).

The Technical and Vocational Education and Training Act No. 29 of 2013 and the Sessional Paper No. 1
of 2019 on Reforming Education and Training in Kenya, emphasized the need to reform curriculum
development, assessment and certification. This called for a shift to CBET to address the mismatch
between skills acquired through training and skills needed by industry as well as increase the global
competitiveness of Kenyan labour force.

The occupational standards are designed and organized with clear performance criteria for each element
of a unit of competency. These standards also outline the required knowledge and skills as well as
evidence guide.
I am grateful to the Council Members, Council Secretariat, Technical Committee, Fashion Design
SSAC, expert workers and all those who participated in the development of these occupational
standards.
