Abstract
Implementation of reforms remains crucial concerns in education in the 21stCentury, particularly
its success. In Kenya the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) was implemented in 2018 from
grade one. The CBC provides for development of individual potential in a holistic and integrated
manner with the aim of producing individuals who are intellectually, emotionally and physically
balanced. However, the vitality of curriculum reforms depends on the teacher’s acceptance of
the reform and how their concerns are addressed, because teachers are expected to put reform
ideas into practice. Understanding of curriculum model of implementation that have adopted
Concerned Based Adoption may guide in CBC issues faced by the teachers for its successful
implementation. Specifically, this will help to address emerging issues of CBC as a reform
during its implementation. Key recommendation is that all education stakeholders should take
note of CBC concerns and address in an effective manner for its successful implementation.
