Students who just finished Grade 9 can find out their high school placements. The Basic Education Principal Secretary, Julius Bitok, said the assignments for Grade 10, starting in 2026, will be available by this Friday. Kids can check by texting their exam number to a dedicated shortcode.
Placements are based on the new Kenya Junior School Education Assessment results and the learning path each student picked. The final grade mixes scores from earlier tests and a big evaluation at the end of Grade 9. The country has over nine thousand senior schools ready, with enough space to avoid crowding since only three grades will use the buildings.
When the term starts next January, students will go into a three-year program covering Grades 10 through 12. They will take seven subjects, including mandatory English, Kiswahili, math, and community service. The school day runs from morning until mid-afternoon, with specific break times. Fees depend on a new school classification system, with only the lowest tier remaining completely free. Parents should get a clear fee breakdown and official payment methods from the schools.
