For many years, parents chose a school based on one simple hope: that their child would receive a solid education. A place where discipline was taught, faith was honoured, and hard work was a virtue passed from one generation to the next. Today, Competency-Based Education (CBE) is bringing us back to that simple truth. It reminds us that education is not just about exams—it is about shaping a young person who knows what she can do, who she is, and what she stands for.
CBE is not a new idea. It is a return to something old, something tested, something our parents and grandparents believed in: learning by doing. Instead of a child memorising facts for the sake of a grade, she is now guided to master real skills—skills she will carry into adulthood. Skills that help her think, create, solve problems, and serve her community with confidence.
In CBE, learners move at a pace that allows them to truly understand what they are being taught. No child is rushed. No child is left behind. Every learner is seen, supported, and encouraged. This is one of the reasons St. Joseph Girls Maungu has embraced CBE with joy. It aligns naturally with the Catholic way of formation—seeing each child as unique, gifted, and worthy of a safe, caring environment where she can discover her God-given abilities.
Parents often ask, “What makes CBE different?” The simplest answer is this: CBE prepares your daughter for real life. If she is studying agriculture, she will not only read about it—she will plant, manage, and harvest. If she is learning technology, she will not just be shown a computer—she will build, explore, and experiment. Every learning area becomes practical. Every lesson becomes a step toward the woman she is becoming.
And something beautiful happens when girls learn this way. Their confidence grows. They stop fearing mistakes and begin embracing effort. They learn that discipline is not punishment, but a path to excellence. They learn that faith without action is incomplete. They learn that their talents—no matter how small—can be sharpened, refined, and used for the good of society.
At St. Joseph Girls Maungu, our CBE Senior School Grade 10 program is built on three pillars: competence, character, and Catholic values. We want each learner to leave our gates not only with strong skills but with strong morals. Not only with knowledge but with wisdom. Not only with dreams but with the courage to pursue them.
CBE is shaping a new generation of young women. Women who can think for themselves. Women who can solve problems. Women who understand responsibility and service. Women who know that success is built slowly, with prayer, patience, and dedication.
As a parent, when you choose CBE for your daughter, you are choosing a future where she is prepared—not just for exams, but for life.
At St. Joseph Girls Maungu, we would be honoured to walk that journey with her.
