The government's ongoing battle to eliminate ghost learners and unaccounted-for schools has taken a new turn, as the Ministry of Education prepares to roll out yet another digital data system.
The ministry on Thursday confirmed it is fully embracing the Kenya Education Management Information System (Kemis), set to replace National Education Management Information System (Nemis).
The nationwide registration exercise under Kemis is scheduled to begin on July 15, covering all learners in public institutions-from nursery and primary schools to universities and technical colleges.
For years, the education sector has been dogged by reports of unaccounted-for learners receiving government funding and institutions inflating enrolment figures to boost capitation grants.
