Abstract:
The revised Kiswahili curriculum is a curriculum in which Kiswahili subject is compulsory and a teacher trainee
is expected to pass in the subject in order to be awarded the certificate of Primary Teacher Education (PTE). This
is opposite to the previous Kiswahili curriculum where it was not a must for one to pass in Kiswahili to be
awarded PTE certificate. The evaluation study aimed at providing important information to curriculum
implementers and management for making informed decisions on teaching, learning, assessment process and
improvement of the subject. Combinations of ex post facto and naturalistic designs were utilized. Many of the
participants believed that to great extent the curriculum was realistic and practical; and the implementation was
effective though with some difficulties. It was concluded that if the all the hindrances were eliminated then the
implementation would be perfected.
