Teachers from high schools will be appointed as principals at JSS by TSC
In addition to other staff members, the Junior Secondary School (JSS), which includes grades 7, 8, and 9, will have its own principal and governing board by 2024.
Parents of secondary school-aged children will also need to buy new uniform sets in accordance with the government’s new draft guidelines.
The BOM for secondary schools will be in charge of managing the facilities’ operational and financial aspects.
However, primary school principals will also function as junior secondary school principals during the transitional year.
Specifics are provided in the proposed regulations for the transfer to lower secondary school. Although primary institutions contain lower secondary schools, the government seeks to maintain the separation between the two educational levels.
According to a prior remark made by President William Ruto, the currently operating primary schools would serve as the home for the lower secondary grades of 7, 8, and 9.
However, Ruto charged the Ministry of Education with establishing the specific transfer procedures.
Junior secondary school pupils dress differently from their elementary school counterparts.
However, a senior government official claimed that because of the 100% transition policy, no child will be denied admission to a high school because of the uniform.
It was determined that till the end of this year, principals of elementary schools would also serve as principals of lower secondary schools.
The school administrators, who also act as secretaries for the junior high school boards, will be in charge of the high school’s financial management.
Junior high school students will get a state capitation per child, just like other high school students.
The junior high school board and the primary school board will differ from one another. The news is made public as competition for lower secondary administration positions among secondary teachers intensifies.
The transition is expected to present some challenges for the infrastructure and teacher utilization, and some parents may decide to move their kids to different schools.
As the time for the school’s reopening approaches, questions have been raised regarding, among other things, the rules, infrastructure, and teacher utilization.
The issue of junior high school students’ access to laboratories was a serious one.
However, additional details about the drafts guidelines were made public at a stakeholders meeting that was presided over by Ezekiel Machogu, the education cabinet secretary, at the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD).
The team was tasked with supporting the junior high school’s effective leadership and management, facilitating a seamless transition from the sixth form primary school to the junior high school, and promoting consistency in the delivery of the junior high school curriculum, including teaching, learning, and assessment, according to Machogu.
Machogu continued by saying that the team’s accomplishments are anticipated to guarantee that all pupils, including those with special needs and disabilities, have access to a secure, appropriate, and sufficient physical infrastructure as well as a friendly environment.
The team was required to make recommendations on how to ensure the provision of adequate and well-prepared human resources to facilitate the delivery of the Junior High School curriculum as well as to outline the roles and responsibilities of significant stakeholders in the implementation of the various Junior High School components.
