The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) has released the list of approved language textbooks for Grade 10 learners in the Social Sciences Pathway, specifically in Languages and Literature.
This ensures that learners and teachers effectively follow the Competency-Based Education (CBE), aligning with the required academic standards and teaching methodologies for Senior School students.

At this level, learners gain a pre-tertiary/university/pre-career experience, with the opportunity to choose pathways and tracks in which they have demonstrated interest and potential.
