Abstract: The objective of the investigation was to ascertain the impact of competency-based curriculum (CBC) implementation on the preparedness of teachers, the physical infrastructure of schools, and instructional materials in public and private primary schools in Kenya. More specifically, it examined the factors that influence the implementation of CBC in public and private primary institutions in the South Kinangop sub-county. The literature review addressed three distinct components: instructional materials, instructors’ preparedness, and the physical infrastructure of the school. The theory of change and the theory of implementation were both implemented in the investigation. A total of 508 respondents, were the focus of a descriptive survey design. The survey emphasized the physical infrastructure deficiencies of public primary schools in comparison to private ones. The study suggests that in order to improve the implementation of CBC, instructors in both public and private primary schools should participate in additional workshops, seminars, in-depth training, and continuous professional development.
