    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise in my capacity as the Senator for Murang’a County and as the Chair of the Committee on Education in the Senate. I join Sen. Cherarkey in outlining the challenges that we have with transition to junior secondary school. It is true we have a crisis. This crisis has come by because up to and until December of last year, every one of us knew that junior secondary school was going to be domiciled in secondary schools. Following the recommendations by the Presidential working party on educational reforms, many parents and stakeholders strongly felt that learners at Grade Six were too young to join secondary school and be in the same school with other elder learners who could be about 20 years old. Mr. Temporary Speaker, as you are aware, His Excellency the President then directed that the junior secondary school be domiciled in primary schools. This caught primary schools off-guard. It is because the curriculum that Junior Secondary School is giving, is secondary school curriculum. Primary school teachers are not trained to handle secondary school curriculum and so there is a challenge."
