, FOREWORD
The provision of quality education and training is fundamental to the Government’s
overall strategy for social economic development. Quality education and training will
contribute to achievement of Kenya’s development blue print and sustainable development
goals (SDGs). This can only be addressed if the current skill gap in the world of work is
critically taken into consideration.
Reforms in the education sector are necessary for the achievement of Kenya Vision 2030
and meeting the provisions of the Constitution of Kenya 2010. The education sector has
to be aligned to the Constitution and this has triggered the formulation of the Policy
Framework for Reforming Education and Training (Sessional Paper No. 4 of 2016). A key
provision of this policy is the radical change in the design and delivery of the TVET
training which is the key to unlocking the country’s potential in industrialization. This
policy document requires that training in TVET be Competency Based, Curriculum
development be industry led, certification be based on demonstration and mastery of
competence and mode of delivery allows for multiple entries and exit in TVET programs.
These reforms demand that industry takes a leading role in TVET curriculum development
to ensure the curriculum addresses and responds to its competence needs. The learning
guide in Community Health Assistant enhances a harmonized delivery of the competency-
based curriculum for Community Health Assistant Level 6. It is my conviction that this
learning guide will play a critical role towards supporting the development of competent
human resource for the Community Health Assistant sector’s growth and sustainable
development.
