• 9 Aug 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. That is a very elaborate question. First, the summative KPSEA is administered at the end of the upper primary. For the year 2022, the assessment was administered from the 28th to 30th November.

• 9 Aug 2023 in Senate: required to be done from the counties and the Kenyans at large. This is because Kenyans were given the opportunity to discuss the matter and recommend. Junior secondary school as we talk is currently domiciled in the existing primary schools. I think all of them are sworn in. They are in the given schools. In view of the above, all Grade Six learners had almost 100 per cent transition to the existing primary schools. The current Grade Seven will transition to Senior Secondary as you are aware in 2026. They will also transition to universities in 2029. view
• 9 Aug 2023 in Senate: Part(c) of the Question says that there is minimal learning taking place in our Junior Secondary Schools. I have this to say. The Ministry has been implementing this since 2017 when the Government decided that we have to change our education system to align it with what is happening regionally and globally, and also to be able to make it competitive and to equip our young people with the necessary skills and competencies. view
• 9 Aug 2023 in Senate: Ever since then, the first cohort of course is the one in Junior Secondary Schools now. The efficacy of the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) indeed has been subjected to extensive stakeholder consultation and public participation by the Presidential Working Party. If you look at the report on the Working Party, 51.2 per cent of the stakeholders engaged said we retain the CBC structure with a review which of course we have partly done, while 9.6 per cent proposed its retention, 21 per cent argued that it should be discontinued and 12 per cent submitted that we should reverse the 8-4-4 ... view
• 9 Aug 2023 in Senate: I also wish to confirm that the Government has taken many measures because we have been given capitation for Junior Secondary to the tune of Kshs15, 040 per student and we have disbursed these funds to the respective schools. Part (d) of the Question is that we have been provided with resources as I have said. Out of the Kshs15, 040 per learner, it is categorised and split out as follows - Kshs1, 200 for textbooks which we have given to every school in the country. I am happy to report that all schools have received the necessary textbooks for ... view
• 9 Aug 2023 in Senate: A sum of Kshs450 is for laboratory materials, Kshs1,000 is for materials for practical, Kshs2,550 is for stationery and the amount that we have dispatched so far is 50 per cent of this which is Kshs9,580,894,355 and we have given the amount to every county. I have given the breakdown which is on the table. We have also spent Kshs3,164,364,856 on course books for Junior Secondary alone and we have also given a breakdown of how that money has been spent in every part of this country and in each county. view
• 9 Aug 2023 in Senate: The TSC has also recruited 6,000 teachers as interns and we recruited 30,550 teachers to alleviate the very serious teacher’s shortage. Therefore, we have posted a total of 38,917 teachers to the respective Junior Secondary Schools all over the country. We can therefore comfortably say that as much as we have a few challenges, we are in the view

• 9 Aug 2023 in Senate: process of trying to get funds to construct integrated resource, tests and sanitation facilities and the amount we are looking for is Kshs3.36 billion. We have already had an engagement with the World Bank and we hope that we should be able to access these funds, which will then enable us to build and construct a total of 1,867 integrated learning resource centers and tests. view
