The Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) has warned of a looming crisis in the transition of students from Junior Secondary to Senior Secondary Schools.

According to the union, the government has failed to train teachers meant to handle the new cohort of students set to join Grade 10 next year.

Meanwhile, KUPPET dismissed the Ministry of Education's plans to construct more laboratories and classrooms this year, noting that the initiative had not been included in the budget.

The union's national chairman, Omboko Milemba, said secondary school teachers had not been trained on how to handle Grade 10 students.
