The Kenyan government has assured parents that school fees will remain unchanged for the full transition of learners into Senior School under the Competency-Based Education (CBE). Education Cabinet Secretary Migos Ogamba stated that renaming schools into clusters does not affect the cost of education.

• 1.13 million learners who sat the 2025 Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA) are currently undergoing placement.
• Basic Education Principal Secretary Dr. Julius Bitok confirmed that the Ministry is using the CRF revenue allocation formula for equitable learner distribution across four Senior School clusters.
• All learners are expected to know their placement by next week, with a 5-day revision window to follow, and are anticipated to report to school on January 12.
