The Ministry of Education will today (Monday) start an assessment of all primary schools in the country.

Adopting a speedy outcome initiative, the assessment will take place between January 9 and January 20.

This checks how ready the schools are to handle the Grade 7 students who will be enrolled in junior secondary.

All children are required to move on to Grade 7 as both public and private institutions will be evaluated, according to a ministry directive.

The Junior Secondary School will continue to be governed by the primary school system, according to TSC legal officer Cavin Anyuor.

“As things stand, the administrator will continue to serve as the primary school's headteacher until junior high school begins,’’ he said.

In accordance with President Ruto's directive, students who passed the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment were to enroll in junior high school at the same primary school.

Following their meeting with President Ruto at State House, the working group delivered the instructions in a preliminary report.

The assessment will be coordinated by education stakeholders at the national, regional, county, and sub-county levels.
