The Ministry of Education is set to integrate all private schools into the national framework for senior secondary school selection and placement. This move aims to facilitate a seamless transition under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), addressing the current public school dominance in student placement.

• Integration will affect placement into senior secondary schools, starting with Grade 10 in 2026.
• Principal Secretary Julius Bitok confirmed this decision following a meeting with the Kenya Private Schools Association (KPSA) on Wednesday, July 30.
• Student placement will be based on Kenya Junior Secondary Education Assessment (KJSEA) performance and chosen career pathways (STEM, Arts and Sports Science, Social Sciences).
