The Ministry of Education has assured parents and the country that all the current 1.2 million grade 9 learners will transition to senior school in January 2026.
Basic education Principal Secretary, PS Amb.
Prof. Julius Bitok said teams at the ministry were working round the clock putting in place comprehensive guidelines and modalities that will ensure every grade nine learner gets an opportunity in senior school. "We are giving every child a chance, irrespective of the grades they attain at grade 9, everybody must go to senior school to pursue their choice subjects," said the PS.
This will be the most single challenging issue in our curriculum-based education, CBE considering it's the first time we are transitioning all the 1.2m grade 9 students to senior school, said the PS but assured that every student will be able to get a space in senior schools.
