Editorial Policy

This page explains how CBC Guides researches, writes, dates and corrects the information on cbcguide.co.ke. It sits alongside our About, Contact, Privacy Policy and Terms of Use pages.

Who we are

CBC Guides is an independent website for Kenyan families, teachers and learners following Competency-Based Education (CBC/CBE). We are not the Ministry of Education, KNEC, KICD or any school, and we are not their agent. Nothing on this site is an official notice. Always confirm deadlines, placements, results and fees with the relevant authority or with the school itself.

How we source facts

  • Official documents first. For public rules, dates and fees we rely on the Kenya Gazette, Ministry of Education circulars, and documents from KNEC and KICD. We link the source and give its date. Where we also use a reputable news report, we say so and still prefer the underlying official text.
  • School fees only from the school. An individual school’s fees are published only when we have that school’s own fee structure — a page or a document the school issued. We link it and record when we checked it. We do not accept payment from schools for fee listings, and we do not estimate a school’s fees.
  • No guessed numbers. If we cannot verify a figure, we say that plainly rather than invent one. We would rather leave a gap than publish an unsourced amount.
  • Dated writing. Time-sensitive pages state an “as of” date. We record when a page was last reviewed.

Who writes this site

Articles are published under the name CBC Guides team, not under a personal byline. Guides, fees tables, quizzes and tools are produced and checked by that team. We do not present machine-generated pages as official Ministry or KNEC material.

How we correct mistakes

If you find an error or an outdated figure, please write to us through the contact page or at hello@cbcguide.co.ke. Send the page link and, if you have it, the official source. We review corrections and update the page, including the reviewed date. Schools are welcome to send their current official fee document; we still publish only from that document, and we do not charge for a listing.

Advertising

Some free information pages show labelled advertisement banners. Ad clicks open in a new tab. We do not place those banners on the homepage, on quizzes or learner challenge pages, or on checkout, pass-purchase or download pages. People with a paid pass, and signed-in learners, do not see the banners. Sponsored school placements, where they exist, are labelled as sponsored.

What this policy does not cover

How we handle personal data is set out in the Privacy Policy. How you may use the site is set out in the Terms of Use. This page is about editorial standards, not about purchases.
