I happened across this <http://kcpe-kcse.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/COMPUTER-STUDIES-SYLLABUS.rtf> syllabus whilst on another quest, and the feeling of nostalgia was just too strong to resist sharing: - Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) - Cathode Ray Tube - WORM Stuff I learnt in college now is being taught in Form 1
This is interesting. I see, in form 3, there are the topics "Elementary Programming Principles" and "System Development"; and in form 4, a project, where they develop a CRUD application. Does anyone know what programming languages and tools they are required to use? Or does each school/student have the freedom to choose whatever they want? Also, since they say Computer Studies is an optional subject, it'd be interesting to know how many students are picking it. Joseph.

Guys Where have you been, the first KCSE paper for Computer Studies was done in 1999 , this new syllabus was revised in 2002 ans started implementation in 2003, In the original syllabus , the programming was either cobol, C++, or Pascal or Fotran. The 2003 syllabus allowed for student to choose any language including Acess Programming. On Mon, Sep 19, 2016 at 4:45 PM, Joseph Wayodi via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

I happened to have seen the project done by a form four student this year, based on MS Access, and whilst this early introduction is good, the quality of the design and documentation is lacking. This could be due to the exposure of the teachers. My suggestion: us people who are in the industry need to volunteer your time to go to these secondary schools and pass across some real life knowledge. There is a specific provision in the syllabus for that. On Mon, Sep 19, 2016 at 5:25 PM, Joseph Maina <mainasoft00@gmail.com> wrote:

I remember a few years ago (probably 2008) helping a form four student with their KSCE project and I think they were using MS Access Db and VB for design. On Tue, Sep 20, 2016 at 9:45 AM, Alvin Ochola via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

Alvin LOL, Peter good suggestion, on the teachers lacking exposure , because most of them graduate from college with a degree in education (in Maths/Computer Studies , or Physics / Computer Studies and the list continues ) Volunteers to this will go a long way in helping this country On Tue, Sep 20, 2016 at 11:34 AM, Victor Kisovi <victor.kisovi1@gmail.com> wrote:
