Heads of secondary schools in Nakuru County have warned of a looming crisis in the education sector come January when students transition from junior to senior secondary schools (Grade 10).

According to the principals, little has been done to accommodate the thousands of students joining public secondary schools.

The situation has been worsened by the government's failure to remit the second term's capitation, a move that has affected the payment of salaries and suppliers.

Last week, Basic Education PS Julius Bitok revealed that out of 9,750 schools listed for transition from junior to senior secondary school, 5,000 have been ignored by learners.
