Summary

• Description:

  The MS Word document comprises Grade 10 CBC Christian Religious Education (CRE) Term 3 2026 Scheme of Work created for senior school humanities educators executing the CRE curriculum under the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) 2025 Competency-Based Curriculum framework. This instructional document translates national curriculum outcomes into a weekly teaching program, serving as an essential tool for lesson preparation, biblical study guidance, moral values integration, and learner assessment throughout the third term.

  The scheme spans two major thematic strands: Strand 3.0 ("Church in Action") and Strand 4.0 ("Christian Living Today"). In the opening weeks, learners investigate Christian Sacraments, analyzing the biblical meaning, spiritual importance, and daily application of Baptism (Mark 16:16, John 3:5, Romans 6:1–14) and the Lord's Table / Holy Communion (Luke 22:14–20). The curriculum then transitions to Christian Ethics and Morality, exploring ethical sources, road safety ethics, and youth challenges (peer pressure, drug abuse, cyber security). Subsequent sub-strands examine Human Rights with a focus on Gender-Based Violence (GBV types, causes, effects, biblical equality in Genesis 1:26–27 and Galatians 3:28, counseling support); Human Sexuality (biblical teachings, dating vs. courtship, same-sex relationships, avoiding sexual perversity); Marriage and Family (biblical foundations, church preparation stages, celibacy, family challenges); and Christian Response to Modern Medicine, Science and Technology (spreading the Gospel via digital media, bio-ethics regarding euthanasia and plastic surgery, divine wisdom in Exodus 31:1–6 and Daniel 1:17–20, and technological content creation).
