Education officials are literally sending chiefs door-to-door to hunt down hundreds of thousands of missing students. The Ministry wants local administrators to track around four hundred thousand Grade 10 learners who still have not reported to class. Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba is coordinating with interior authorities to complete the enrollment push.
Ogamba noted that over five hundred fifty thousand students are logged in the online portal. He admitted physical admissions are likely higher, with data entry lagging behind actual enrollments. Some schools face connectivity issues when entering student details into the system.
Many institutions have very few students due to low demand, a reality the ministry will address later. Officials may consolidate resources into preferred schools after reviewing final numbers. Ogamba extended the admission period to capture every learner.
Financial support is available through constituency bursaries and county government funds for vulnerable families. The Teachers Service Commission acting CEO, Evaleen Mitei, assured parents of educator readiness for the new curriculum. She emphasized the competency-based system's role in developing technical skills for future employment.
