Leaders in the education sector have insisted that Mathematics will only be compulsory in primary and junior secondary school.
Kenya National Examination Council (Knec) chairman, Julius Nyabundi, yesterday said primary and junior level Mathematics was enough to build understanding in the subject.
It also emerged that performance in Mathematics in secondary schools over the years has been poor compared to end of primary schools tests.
Andrew Otieno, Knec deputy director, Quality Assurance and Archives, said analysis on KCPE and KCSE examinations shows that learners portray a commendable performance in Mathematics while exiting primary school but a major decline is seen when they sit their Form Four examination.
