Several senior schools across Kenya offer subject combinations that include Music and Dance and Theatre and Film under the Arts and Sports Science Pathway.
In the subject combinations, the two learning areas are paired with a third subject, such as Literature in English, Business Studies, French, Computer Studies, Fine Arts, Sports & Recreation, History and Citizenship, German, and others.
Speaking during the 96th Kenya Music Festival Gala Performance at Moi Girls’ School, Eldoret, Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Migos Ogamba explained that the Arts and Sports Science is one of the pathways, just like other subjects.
“The performing Arts and Sports Science is one of the pathways in the curriculum, just like English, Mathematics and Physics. In senior schools, our musicians can specialize in an area of performing arts,” Ogamba stated.
