The Education Ministry is facing a looming crisis as the country prepares to roll out Grade 10 under the Competency-Based Education (CBE) system in the next five months.
This comes after a newly released report revealed that only 21 per cent of teachers in public junior secondary schools have been trained to deliver Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects, raising red flags over the preparedness of both teachers and schools.
The State Education Report, developed by Zizi Afrique Foundation and Usawa Agenda, also revealed that 35 per cent of schools run without a single STEM teacher.
The report has highlighted critical gaps in teacher preparedness, infrastructure, and digital literacy as the country transitions to senior secondary education.
