CBC Pupils Nearly Burned as Headless Chicken Escapes

A group of primary school children escaped sustaining severe burns by the breadth of a fur after a headless chicken they were to slaughter made a last minute dash to save its life.

The pupils, under the supervision of their teacher-cum-cameraman, had performed the all important process of beheading the chicken – as the teacher cheered – but were perhaps not made aware of the fact that it was not yet Uhuru.

“Good, put it in the water,” the teacher instructed the merciless beheading gang, his voice exuding the confidence of someone who knew he’d get the fatty and fleshy parts of the meal.

The boys then made their way to a huge sufuria of boiling water which was being supervised by the girls who were in charge of ‘lighter duties.’

I have always wanted to use ‘No sooner… than,’ so here I go – I hope my primary teacher will be proud.

No sooner had the headless chicken felt the heat, than it got itself loose, saving its life, albeit temporarily, but also saving the kids from a splash of hot boiling water which could have ripped their tender skins.

Shockingly, the teacher, who was standing at a very safe distance, laughed hysterically as his foot soldiers chased down the escaping chicken, a sight which didn’t go well with some online and real life parents as well as animal welfare enthusiasts.

The chicken scandal is part of the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) which continues to draw mixed reaction from education stakeholders.

President William Ruto has pledged to review the programme which has left many parents questioning its competency and short and long term gains for learners.

The maiden CBC class is slated to make the jump to Junior High School (JSS) in January 2023 but this remains unlikely given the lack of proper infrastructure.
