This study is about the influence of teachers on curriculum development in Kenya. Previous studies have shown that teachers, as primary stakeholders of the curriculum, are the key implementers of the developed curriculum. Not much is known about their influence in the development of the national curriculum. The study investigates the current level of teacher involvement in curriculum development through analysis of case studies conducted in Kenya in regards to teacher participation in curriculum development in Kenya. Further, the study investigates how the local curriculum governing body, Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD), can ensure the full participation of teachers in curriculum development.
