The govt will spend Ksh. 18B on JSS in the next financial year… Ksh.4000 out of the Ksh. 15000 capitation per learner will be spent on putting up laboratories
We are negotiating with World Bank to put up at least 7000 labs.
The ministry has moved to provide interim guidelines on the Junior Secondary Schools; grade seven learners will report to school on 30th January & the govt will spend Ksh 9.6B on capitation grants to learners of JSS, each learner will receive Ksh.15,000 per year.
The hiccup that was experienced at one of the marking centres threatened to derail the marking exercise but KNEC was able to intervene. I wish to urge professionals who are engaged in national exercises to put the interest of the nation first.
We have released the results early so that the candidates pursue higher learning institutions in 2023. The credible achievement in the marking process couldn’t have been possible if a number of teachers didn’t sacrifice themselves, I thank them.
He gave the report from the Kenya National Examinations Council headquarters on Dennis Pritt Road.
