Mudavadi said the program was implemented in a rush, and without consultation with stakeholders.
The ANC leader through his party said the CBC system is a burden to parents in the country.
"The controversial Competence-Based-Curriculum of education will be scraped once the Ruto/Mudavadi government takes power in August," he said on Twitter.
"ANC supremo @MusaliaMudavadi says CBC was hurriedly implemented without wide and genuine consultations with stakeholders and the new system is a big burden and an academic frustration to Kenyan parents."

The pioneer class of the Competency-Based Curriculum is currently in Grade 5 and will transit to Grade 6 in April this year, which also marks the end of primary school.
In the curriculum, learners will sit Continuous Assessment Tests at the end of Grades 4, 5, and 6 to form the final mark at the end of primary school.
With the progressive implementation of the new education system, the CBC suffered a major blow in 2021 after a case was filed in court challenging its implementation.
But long before the CBC found its way to the corridors of justice, tension, discomfort, and opposition had engulfed its implementation.
