The Kenyan Education Ministry faces a crisis as it prepares to implement Grade 10 under the Competency-Based Education (CBE) system, set to launch in January 2026. A recent report reveals significant gaps in preparedness for this transition.

• Only 21 percent of teachers in public junior secondary schools have been trained to teach STEM subjects.
• The report was developed by Zizi Afrique Foundation and Usawa Agenda.
• Critical infrastructure needs remain unmet, with only 48 percent of learners having access to laboratory facilities.
