The Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) was introduced in 2017 to replace the 8-4-4 education system. CBC emphasises a paradigm shift from a teacher- to student-centred syllabus.

It equips individual learners by developing their tacit skills and capabilities, thereby making them problem solvers, innovators and inventors.
