Tue Feb 9 15:44:33 EAT 2016

Listers,

Allow me to share the progress on this.

The ED10 Consortium <http://ed10.co> hosted a thinkathon last Sunday 
afternoon on Kenya's curriculum reforms to build consensus on the ideas 
Kenyans had added here 
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UiiRxzudjqcKJQ82Q-hWZZlmrlGeSMe1a0ik-PJm0w4/edit>.

Today, we are releasing the first draft of our memoranda for your review 
and comments. The memoranda is linked here: 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eit-zoFvyhWazUf3bOqb-MWMrupIq1wEQBerWcfrT-8/edit?usp=sharing

We invite you to add comments on the ideas listed.

We will accept comments until 9 pm Wednesday 10th February 2016.We will 
incorporate all feedback from the comments and finally submit this 
Memoranda to the Kenya Institute for Curriculum Development on Thursday 
11th February 2016.

Please share this link and opportunity with your networks. We encourage 
you to post on social media as well with the #CurriculumReformsKE 
<https://twitter.com/search?q=%23CurriculumReformsKE&src=typd> hashtag.

Looking forward to amplifying your voices in this curriculum reform process.

Kind Regards,

Simeon Oriko
(for and on behalf of the ED10 team)
